The unbelievable mess found in a rental property where you'll struggle to see any carpet at all

Video footage has captured the absolutely shocking mess found after tenants vacated their rented property.

The film was shot by a home removal and clearance expert after they were commissioned to tidy the house in Swansea.

It's understood the tenants quit the property while still owing rent.

In addition to finding out he had been left out of pocket as a result of his tenants' flit the landlord was shocked to discover the horrendous amount of rubbish strewn around the house.

It included rubbish and dozens of empty plastic bottles in the lounge, a kitchen that looks like it's been ransacked, and stairs covered in empty wrappers.

Doors also appear to have been pulled from their hinges and the upstairs rooms are equally as shocking, with so much takeaway packaging and mountains of other waste that you can barely see the floor.

Both the kitchen and the bathroom look less than hygienic.

Yet amazingly Dan Baker, who runs waste management service Dan The Man With A Van and was tasked with clearing up the mess, said it was not the worst property he he'd had to clean.

“The landlord asked me to tidy up the place, after the tenants did a runner," he said. “He said he wasn’t going to go in there himself."

And Dan wasn't entirely alone when he went in. "There were even some little rats there but I've sorted them out too," he added.

“But I have come across worse properties to clean. Students are the worst."

The house has now been restored to its original condition.
