Landlord makes 'nightmare' discovery in tenant's room after 'foul smell' complaint

A landlord has gone viral on social media after sharing a 'nightmare' discovery in one of her tenant's bedrooms.

Steph, who posts online as @stephadiy, recently stumbled across the horrifying interior of one of her rooms within a rental home after she received complaints of a 'foul smell'.

Having posted her reaction before and after gaining access to the room and posting it on TikTok, the video has gained over 60,000 views since it was posted earlier in the month, reports the Daily Star.

In the video, she said: "I've had some issues with this tenant and I've had to kick them out.

"I've had complaints from the other tenants, but also there's been a really bad smell coming from this room for a while now."

As she flips the camera to show her followers what she was witnessing, it was everyone with OCD's worst nightmare. A room scattered with filled rubbish bags, half-eaten food, filthy plates, and cutlery.

Steph also discovered old food delivery bags that had been shoved into cupboards. She asked in the caption: "Gross, disgusting, how do people live like this???"

Viewers were left shocked at the state of the room with many taking to the comments to shame the tenant for leaving the property in a poor condition.

One user asked: "That's disgusting, I'd be charging a cleaning fee."

Another wrote: "OMG! Who puts dirty plates INSIDE DRAWERS?"

A third commented: "Why didn't they take things to the bin??"

Other users in the comments section warned that the individual may have been suffering from mental health problems as issues such as depression can result in a lack of basic hygiene.

One commenter asked: "Me being the kind-headed person I am and wondering how bad they were mentally to leave it like this.

"Like what was their internal struggle?"
