Resident Alan Matthews, 76, is suing his neighbor in Stoke-on-Trent City Council, England. He claims his house had problems with moisture and dirt due to leaks from another house.

Pooping in the bath

After a neighbor’s bathroom leaks, Matthews reports the persistent presence of black mold in his home and also claims to have found pieces of poop in his bathtub.

“My neighbor’s poop ended up in my bathtub due to leaks and I needed a porta-potty that the council had to empty every day,” Matthews said.

He appealed to the town council for help, asking for £800 in financial assistance to replace the damaged carpet. However, he told the Daily Star tabloid that he had not yet received any response.

Matthews also reports that during the trip, a friend had to remove all her belongings from her house due to water buildup caused by a neighbor’s leaks.

The city council says it has taken steps since March to resolve the issues, including extensive plastering, electrical and cosmetic work.

City Councilman Chris Robinson announced a new policy to specifically address moisture and mold issues in response to the Matthews case.
