A LANDLORD was shocked to discover he had more than just rubbish and disrepair to deal with after his heartless tenants moved out.

Video footage of inside the home shows abandoned items scattered throughout the living areas, destroyed blinds and discarded contents.

But the homeowner couldn't believe his eyes when he stumbled across the previous occupiers' pet cat.

While walking through the property, presumably taking in the mess and establishing a clean-up plan, he walks into a bedroom only to reveal a cat tucked away in a closet.

The ginger kitty is seen in curled up in the corner of the wardrobe and doesn't flinch as the man shines his torch light on it.

Posted on TikTok, the video caption states: "Tenants moved out and left their pet behind."

After traipsing through each room, the man narrating the video is heard saying "he's obviously scared" once he locates the forgotten feline.

The video is posted to Reddit with the comment: "I hope karma gets to them before the landlord does."

Commenters on the post were sympathetic, questioning the moral stability of people to be so heartless.

One person wrote: "Uncivilized savages, hope that both the cat and owner get justice."

While another said: "That's still sh***y. If you move with cats, you prepare a safe space for them and move them first."

Another stated: "The tenants are on a whole 'nother level of sh***y to leave their pet behind."

It's unclear what happened next, although one comment on the post claims the tenants said they were coming back for the cat when the landlord confronted them.

One person keeping up with the thread didn't think that was a good enough explanation.

They wrote: "I’m sorry but I’m in the middle of moving and no acceptable way I’d leave my cat there without any supervision… my first priority right now is when I get the keys is making a run to the other house & drop off my pets. Especially him/her in the closet."

Others didn't believe the excuse, with one person stating: "Sounds more like a bad lie they thought up when they got called out. Why would you just leave the cat in a nearly empty house while you're in the process of moving things?"
