Hamilton woman’s newly purchased home damaged by previous tenants

First Published:

A Hamilton woman’s home purchase quickly turned into a nightmare after the previous tenants caused extensive damage to her new home costing her thousands.

Ayesha Aghar bought her house on Ellis Avenue six months ago and only got to move in on Sunday.

Ayesha Aghar wanted to start a new life in Hamilton and bought a home here, “They had agreed to move out by May 31st per their original notice and on the closing day, they said they were not moving out.”

What ensued next was a back-and-forth that left Aghar with nowhere to go, while her new home was slowly ruined. Finally, a sheriff’s order was able to evict the tenants.

Sheriff’s order managed to evict the tenants but even in the presence of a sheriff, the old tenants continued to make things difficult.

Aghar says the previous tenants left the home a mess and once inside things only got worse.

Aghar says this ordeal has cost her thousands of dollars, and will likely cost thousands more.
