A TENANT from hell smeared POO over the walls, urinated on the floor and trashed a house before running off “scot-free”.
Disgusted landlord Ian Twigg, 57, felt “physically sick” while using a mop to scrape off the excrement in Burton, Staffordshire.

The dad-of-three bought the house close to the town centre to rent out – allowing him to retire early.
But he was forced to fork out thousands to redecorate after a tenant abandoned the house in a stomach-churning state, with dirty nappies and used sanitary pads strewn about.
Carpets had to be replaced after urine coated the floors – while one room alone needed 60 bin bags to clear the mountains of rubbish left behind.
Ian told Staffordshire Live: “It made me feel sick; physically sick.
“The carpets are gone – it’s hard to describe how bad it was.
A swarm of flies greeted Ian as he first walked into the property and the smell was so bad he presumed an animal had died.

The tenant hadn’t paid rent for six months before the landlord was able to legally presume the house was abandoned and gain entry.
They had previously caused issues, namely when a rat infestation forced Ian to pay for their hotel room while an expert removed the vermin.
He added: “It’s very difficult as we have had to pay all of the bills in the house and they’ve got away scot-free.”
