Landlord evicts tenant with chainsaw after slicing large gap in entrance door

A livid landlord pulled out a chainsaw on a tenant after reaching the tip of his tether.

Samuel Leeds, co-owner at Property Tribes, a personal discussion board for landlords, took to X to share a video of him slicing an enormous gap within the PVC entrance door of one among his properties with a chainsaw.

“This is what happens when you stop paying and refuse to leave my property,” he wrote. He then bullishly added: “Sue me. You’re a guest and have no rights.”

“Today, I had to evict somebody out of my property with a chainsaw,” he mentioned in an earlier submit, posing in an image with the heavy responsibility noticed.

He mentioned that his lawyer instructed he shouldn’t carry out the eviction as he did, however he went for it anyway.

Samuel mentioned: “My lawyer suggested I send a certified bailiff, but I figured it was more fun doing it myself.”

He reasoned: “If they were at a hotel and refused to check out, security would break entry within the hour.”

But not everybody thought it was a intelligent transfer.

One particular person mentioned: “Even shared a video of himself committing the crime.”

“Imagine doing that to your own door, whilst committing a crime,” one other man mentioned in response to the clip.

He might need a degree. The housing charity Shelter rightly factors out that ‘illegal eviction is a criminal offence’.

They outline an unlawful eviction as when “your landlord or anyone acting on their behalf: forces you to leave by threatening or harassing you; kicks you out or uses physical force to make you leave; stops you from getting into parts of your home or changes the locks while you’re out.”

Samuel has been contacted by the Daily Star for remark.
