  • Eviction lawyer Chris is called to Bristol to help 81-year-old ex-army officer Jonathan evict a group of squatters. Eviction expert Paul helps Allen gain possession of his flat, which he bought as a buy-to-let.
    This series follows the eviction specialists whose job it is to tackle tenants who can’t, or won’t pay the rent, and local authority housing offices tasked with going after rogue landlords. We also follow the work letting agents dealing with problem tenants. From a weed farm in a three-bedroom Blackburn semi, to drug addicts in a Blackpool bedsit, to 25 migrants squeezed into a suburban London home, Nightmare Tenants Slum Landlords, delves into dark side of Britain’s housing crisis.

      I've been in several situations landlords abused my trust in them.
      Even i was very dissapointed and angry at them i always kept my decency and paid every penny i owned them while they didn't deserve it and left the property extreemly clean behind me. No way a landlord ever can say i was a bad tenant.
      It learned me to be more careful renting a place and trust verbal agreements.
      Every promise written down and signed. When they are serious they don't have a problem with that do they?

    Never ever lend or sign on to help family or friends. I made the huge mistake years ago and lent someone $1500 . A lot of money in the late 80’s. She never paid me back even after I won in court. I gave up and hope karma caught up with her. My gut said no no no don’t lend the money. I didn’t listen and paid the price. If your gut is telling you to run do it!!!

All Jonathon can see is ££££££ and a luxury villa in Tuscany. What does Jonathon care about human beings living in a cardboard box on the street.

He had inflated ideas about what a saggy secondhand suite is worth and he had no takers. So he loaded it up and took it to the council tip.
      In order that it couldn't be recycled, and that a needy person didn't get it cheap, he sawed it up first and slashed the cushions. I guess it must be a Jonathon Price thing.
