Landlord Nightmare: Rogue Tenants making Chaos at Property

A landlord was devastated to find his tenants caused around £20,000 worth of property damage – including mountains of rubbish, dog urine on the walls, and ripped-up floorboards, The Liverpool Echo reports.

In February, a family moved into the semi-detached property at Eastham, Wirral. However, when estate agents and the property manager inspected the home after six months, they found lodgers staying with the family and nappies all over the floor.

The owner, 37-year-old Aydin Guner, filed a Section 21 notice in October 2022. Still, the family refused to leave, leaving Aydin and the property manager with no choice but to issue a court order to remove them with a writ of possession.

The tenants also stopped paying the rent after eight months.

Bailiff’s attended the home on Tuesday, May 30, and Aydin was devastated to see how much damage had been done to the property.

The landlord told The ECHO: “They had a mountain of trash outside which attracted rats. A washing machine was leaking and had rotted the side of the utility wall. It was all black, and I don’t know how long it was leaking.”

“The floorboards were all ripped up, the pool table was trashed, and dog wee was all over the walls. The bailiffs said they had never seen anything this bad.

“The kitchen cupboards were all chewed up, and mud was everywhere. The garden doesn’t look like a garden anymore; it looks like a wasteland. It looked like they never cleaned the whole time they were there.”

The landlord said it will cost him £20,000 to repair the home, while he lost around £6,000 in rent.
