It is not unusual for tenants to sneak unauthorised pets into their rental properties. Cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs can cause all kinds of damage, from digging up the garden to chewing electrics, but one landlord had a bit of a shock when he went back to visit his rental property and discovered a fifty stone Vietnamese pot bellied pig in residence!
No Pets Allowed
Pets had been banned in the well-maintained bungalow, but after a workman reported a dog living in the property, the landlord requested that the animal be removed. Unfortunately, the tenants had managed to hide the pig away during previous visits, so despite evident damage to the house, he had no idea a pig was living there as well – until he turned up one month later to perform another property inspection.
“On a previous inspection we had been kept out of one room where I suspect the pig was hiding, “ he told reporters.
“The house is in a shocking state. On a personal note, its so upsetting to see a much loved family home ruined.”
Monster Pig
He says he was utterly shocked at the size of the pig: “I mean it was huge – it had tusks.”
The landlord estimates that the giant pig has caused at least £7,500 worth of damage to the property.
“As you can imagine, a pig living in the house equals a lot of dirt, the walls are filthy.
“The house absolutely stinks and is full of long pig hairs. The garden is a state.”
