Tenants leave rent unpaid, take household goods with them

A landlord’s worst nightmare came true on Wednesday when the tenants left the apartment without paying the rent, after first clearing it of €1,800 worth of household furnishings and appliances.

According to a complaint filed with police, the couple renting the Paphos flat, took with them all of the furnishings provided, namely the television, fridge, washing machine, beds, tables, chairs and even the curtains.

The police are seeking the pair, who are 49 and 62 years old.
