The Week The Landlords Moved In: Viewers APPALLED by 'evil' owner in shocking exposé
The first instalment of the BBC show saw father and son Peter and Marc trade places with 66-year-old Linda, who is charged over £950 for her two bedroom flat.
Their tenant revealed to viewers at home that she works three jobs to pay her electricity bill which has gone up in price since the landlords installed a dehumidifier to tackle damp in the flat.
Unfortunately the issue had not been solved and Linda estimated that she paid an extra £40 a week for it.
Peter and Marc were left stunned when they arrived at her flat and were forced to sleep with no heating or hot water.
While the pair initially blamed Linda for not speaking up about the issues in the flat, they later agreed to renovate and fix her rent for two years.

But despite their change of heart, viewers at home took to Twitter to slam the duo for blaming Linda for the poor living conditions.

Another added: "#theweekthelandlordsmovedin is making my blood boil! These landlords are utterly despicable! blaming the tenants for the hideous states."
"#TheweekTheLandlordsMovedIn he doesn't think she'd look after it?? Are you mad? Are you that evil??," a third continued.

Someone else tweeted: "Linda should be retired but working all hours to pay £900 p/m for that dump. How dare grumpy old sod blame her #theweekthelandlordsmovedin."
A fifth went on to share: "So she wouldn't look after it, despite those landlords knowing about mould, and not fixing it? Come on mate. #theweekthelandlordsmovedin [sic]."
The pair kept to their word and renovated Linda's home and she was left open-mouthed when she saw the improvements that had been made to the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom.
