A disgruntled landlord who claimed his tenants had unpaid rent removed their entire bathroom, including the toilet, a court was told.
Terrence Kermode, 76, a landlord of 30 years, removed the toilet, sink and other fittings from the bathroom after realising there were rent and bills outstanding. Magistrates said Kermode had essentially broken into someone’s home and removed belongings and a bathroom.
Flintshire County Council’s Environmental Health Officers prosecuted the private sector landlord for unlawfully evicting and harassing a tenant living in a private rented property.
