A landlord has been left devastated after seeing the condition his flat has been left in after his tenants moved out. Lee Locking received the keys to his property after renting it out for the past half a decade to find every room piled high with rubbish.
Amongst the debris were bags upon bags of cans and bottles, old clothes, mountains of rotting food and cat faeces in the bathtub. In fact our photographer said it was the "worst place" he'd been during a 20-year career.
Lee claims the tenant told him that he could keep the deposit for the flat to cover the mess, but the landlord was shocked to see the extent of the flat. He says he feels let down by the letting agents who managed the property, and claims they should not have allowed the flat to get as bad as it has.
