The Housing Enforcers

Matt tackles a landlord who may putting his tenant's lives in danger and he inspects a ruined home, untouched since 1984. We meet a man who lost hope of his home being brought up to standard and stopped cleaning it and we find out what happens when people never take their bins out.

Matt uncovers tragic overcrowding in a tiny terrace house, finds a house so damp it has sprouted fungus that looks like it belongs under the sea, and meets a man who is hoping his building work will get him out of trouble, but finds his green fingers bring the attention of the police.

Matt meets a woman who has been given a criminal antisocial behaviour order for feeding rats, a man who is given a warning for feeding mice and some young men whose home is a potential death trap.

Matt meets a young mum who is frightened to cook for her kids, a former soldier whose injuries have made his landlord think he is a hoarder, and a troubled family who get the new start they need.
