In May 2015, Michelle Chappell - Channel 5's Commissioning Editor, announced the first season of Nightmare Tenants, Slum Landlords. She said “This is generation rent – for every tenant who won’t pay, there’s a landlord making profit out of slum conditions.

“With 8 million of us renting, it’s a huge issue and this dramatic series exposes some shocking tactics on both sides.”
