'Raw sewage has been leaking into my home for a YEAR - it's worse than being homeless'

A renter claims his current living situation is worse than being homeless due to raw sewage leaking into his flat. The man, who does not wish to be named, said the problem started a year ago when he noticed 'black liquid' seeping through his pipes onto his bathroom floor.

The Hull resident, who lives in a house owned by Hull City Council, for months used his own clothes and towels to wipe up the mess. He says he was calling up the council almost every day for nearly a year and was 'screaming for help' - but got nowhere.

The man didn't know what it was but had assumed it was mould, HullLive reports. On April 14, when someone from the council visited the property, he says, the worker checked behind the toilet and opened up the fixture behind it.
