Blackpool “tenant from hell”
Friday 23rd May 2014
A Blackpool landlord has taken his tale of tenants from hell to the local newspaper.
Sean Feeney rented out a property in Westmorland Avenue, Blackpool, to a mother and her three children. However he told the Blackpool Gazette he believes many more people could have been staying there.
Feeney faced a £2,000 cleaning bill when the family moved out after finding the property strewn with rubbish, dirt and graffiti.
Other Blackpool landlords have reported similar stories of being left to pick up repair bills stretching into thousands of pounds.
Feeney told the Gazette: “I spent £5,000 before re-renting it and they have vandalised it and left it in a sorry state, but the council have given these people a brand new council flat.
“The whole house is pretty much ruined. It will have to be gutted, and the last time this happened it cost £1,000 to take everything to the tip. I don’t know how people can treat a property like this then get a new one.
“The council should have had a look at my property, then told them they weren’t entitled to another one. I will easily have to spend another four or five thousand pounds on it. I don’t know how the carpet has got into that state – it looks like they have had cattle in there.”
