The Patels signed a guaranteed rent agreement with a dishonest letting agent who manages their property in Walthamstow, East London, but now there are rent payments overdue. In Wigan, Lancashire, they’ve been complaints of rubbish from council, so agents carry out an inspection of a filthy property. And in Blackburn, Lancashire, a landlord wants his flat back, his tenant is uncontactable, and thousands in arrears
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.
