Homeowners are so relieved that they threw a party after their ‘neighbor from hell’ was finally evicted.
Landlord Phil Withnall fought for a few months to get Katie Bentley out of his property which she left with smashed windows and piles of rubbish.
Bentley allegedly caused £25,000-worth of damages to the house, smashing windows and ripping up floorboards.
Phil Withnall previously offered the mother-of-five £500 to leave the property that used to be ‘nice’ before she was finally evicted. He had to go to the High Court to make her leave, according to Hull Live.
Neighbors had made promises to throw a “Getting Our Street Back Party” as soon as she was evicted.
“We’re having a big barbecue, we’ve got a bouncy castle and we’ve got kids’ games after collecting £85 from residents,” said a 57-year-old woman who helped organized the party.
“It has been absolutely great [since Miss Bentley left]. It’s lovely – we can sleep on a night and it’s just great.
“Everyone is so relieved and it means the kids can play out in the street with no backlash off her.”
Upsetting photos taken inside the house revealed the home reduced to a grimy wreck. The garden was full of overflowing bins, plastic bags, discarded bike tires, and several windows have been smashed.
A double bed was photographed stacked with unused toys and more trash. One shocking picture showed a horse tied up next to a mountain of waste.
“There are copper pipes and the central heating boiler missing, the taps were left on, the floorboards had been ripped up,” Phil expressed.
“The house is a right mess and she’s had a lot of friends in the property,” he added. “We’ve given her the notice to leave the property and if she doesn’t leave we then have to get a bailiff in to remove her.
“Once that happens if she tries to re-enter it will be a criminal offense.
“It is so frustrating because it was a really nice property but it has been completely destroyed and I’ve not been able to do anything about it.”
