A Bridegend Landlord in Wales was in shock after seeing the horrible state at which his former tenants left his house in.
According to the landlord identified as Daniel Needes who was almost at the brink of tears, the house had been in “immaculate condition” after it was renovated by his late father and had been kitted out with new appliances before renting it out for two years.
However, the tenants he rented the apartment to suddenly moved out in less than two years without notice.
When he decided to visit the house, he was shocked to discover the property had been completely trashed.
In his words ;
“I went down to the house as soon as I could and that’s when I saw what they’d done.
“To be honest, when I first saw it I nearly cried. They had completely trashed it.”
He claims the family didn’t even tell him they were moving out. He says he only found out they had left when he received a letter from the Department for Work and Pensions – which paid the rent directly to Daniel – saying payments had stopped because he was no longer their landlord.
In the kitchen, the tenants had left so many plastic carrier bags, crushed boxes, binbags and empty food containers. The trash completely covered the kitchen floor.
Dirty things were piled high in the sink, a greasy fryer was left on the side and a chest freezer half-filled with defrosted food was left wide open.
Daniel said the family had left rotting food in the kitchen, bathroom and in bags that were strewn throughout the house as well as prescription medication including tablets and inhalers.
“The house stank. They had turned it into a rubbish tip,” he said.
From the photos, you could see that the wallpaper had been torn down, walls had been left with holes in them, doors were broken and the once-cream carpet was covered with dirt and black stains.
The tenants had also left behind heaps of unwanted belongings such as clothes and toys throughout the house.
That there were no problems when renting housing, it is necessary to conclude a contract. Consult a competent lawyer on how to do this. Only in this way, it seems to me, can such problems be avoided.
