Nightmare tenants left a landlord with a "trash mountain" outside a property and around £20k worth of damage.
Aydin Guner, 37, from Halewood had a family move into his property in Eastham, Wirral, in February 2022. But when it came to the new renter's six month inspection the estate agents and property manager said the home was not clean or tidy and failed them.
They found the family had four dogs, had lodgers staying with them and there were "nappies all over the floor". Eight months later the people living in the property stopped paying their rent and Aydin filed a section 21 notice in October 2022.

A section 21 order is submitted by landlords to tenants who have an assured shorthold tenancy asking them to leave a property. After the family refused to leave the house and complaints started coming to Aydin and the property manager, they moved forward with a court order to remove them with a writ of possession.
Bailiffs attended the home on Tuesday, May 30, and Aydin was devastated to see how much damage had been done to the semi-detached property.
He told The ECHO: "They had a mountain of trash outside which attracted rats. There was a washing machine that was leaking that had rotted the side of the utility wall. It was all black and I don't know how long it was leaking for.
"The floorboards were all ripped up, the pool table was trashed and there was dog wee all over the walls. The bailiffs said they have never seen anything this bad.
"The kitchen cupboards were all chewed up and there was mud everywhere. The garden doesn't look like a garden anymore, it looks like a wasteland. It looked like they never cleaned the whole time they were there."
Aydin claims it will cost him around £20k to repair the home back to it's previous standard. He also said he has lost around £6k in rent.
He told The ECHO: "I spoke to three neighbours, an old lady saw me walking and said it's such a lovely house and it had been a nightmare having them there. It has put me off renting.
"It will take me two or three months to fix everything and I think I might list it as an AirBnb."
