'Tenant from hell' leaves two-bedroom flat covered in graffiti as revenge for eviction

A decorator has revealed how he had to clear up after a 'tenant from hell' deliberately covered their flat in graffiti as 'revenge' for being evicted by the landlord. Simon Moore was called out to the 'worst residential job' he has ever had to tackle at the two-bedroom and one-bathroom flat in Weston-super-Mare after the 'nightmare tenant' finally left.

The landlord is said to have battled through a lengthy eviction process after the tenant stopped paying rent for months. Before vacating the property, the tenant covered the walls of every room in the flat, one of the bedroom windows and even some of the ceilings with graffiti, including a '**** you' believed to be aimed at the landlord.

Simon says this 'clever revenge' ensured that they inflicted maximum financial loss to their former landlord without damaging any of the fittings or flooring, meaning they avoided committing criminal damage and the possibility of being prosecuted. The landlord is now reportedly considering selling up to avoid going through the same stressful ordeal again.
