A TENANT from hell left his home waist-deep in rubbish including 3,000 beer cans.
He was a friend in need let the two-bedroom flat by Chris and Sandra Considine in 2018.

But he blocked access, refused to leave and paid rent only once in seven years, the couple say.
When he eventually fled the property in Nuneaton, Warks, they were greeted by scenes of utter squalor.
Stomach-churning photos show thousands of lager cans strewn across the floors of almost every room — with dozens more stacked up on the window sills and shelves.
Former DPD worker Chris, 70, said: “We just couldn’t believe it.”
And grand-of-three Sandra, 58, called the smell “horrendous”.
She added: “The rubbish was waist-high when he left in January — it was shocking.”
The kind-hearted couple agreed to help the pal, who was about to be made homeless.
They moved him into the flat, which they originally bought for daughter Rose, and asked for only £30 a week to cover the service charge and ground rent.
Sandra said: “We were trying to be kind but in the end we just feel utterly exploited.”
Rose, 25, has set up a GoFundMe page to help her parents pay for professional cleaners.
