He said the family “interviewed well” and came with references and seemed like “really nice people.”

His opinion has changed after he said the family proceeded to cause thousands of dollars in damage to the house, including keeping birds and livestock inside where the animals slept, ate and defecated all over the place.

It took Andrew more than six months and a ruling from the Landlord and Tenant Board to finally evict the family.

When the family moved out a couple of months ago, Andrew said he was left with a house full of garbage, rotting food and animal and human waste.

“I could tell you things that no human should know about what happens to mould when it grows on semen,” Andrew said.
