HABA! Here's Probably Why Landlords Always Increase House Rent...



Wonder shall never end. Can you imagine that a landlord spent nearly one full year trying to evict his tenants - and this was the mess they left behind.

The tenant, who happened to be a mother of three children had lived in the house owned by Jagjit Singh in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, for two years but she had not paid the £550-a-month rent since last May.

The family finally moved out of the house after a lengthy eviction battle but Mr Singh, 53, was horrified to find piles of bin bags, litter and dirt after he regained access to the house.
The tenants, a mother and three children, had not cleaned up before they moved out of Mr Singh's house in the Horninglow area of Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire

The beds in the house were broken and he says he found piles of pizza boxes and food up to 2ft-high in the bedrooms, while the bathroom he installed before the family moved in had been left dirty with the toilet not flushed.




Mr Singh says he has given up hope of ever trying to recover the thousands of pounds he claims to have lost in the fight to evict his tenants




The mess also took over the garden with piles of discarded bin bags and litter

Mr Singh claims the fight to get his tenants out of his house in the Horninglow area of the town has cost him more than £5,000 in missed rent payments and £650 in solicitor's fees, and he says he will need to spend about £2,000 to clean it up and make repairs.

If you were this Landlord what would you do when you see another tenant?
