World's Worst Tenants was an American television series that aired on Spike from June 12, 2012[1] to March 12, 2013. The eviction specialists are Todd Howard, Rick Moore and Randye Howard. Though billed as a reality program, it does not document actual events; the show's producers admit that the program depicts "reenactments of many of the actual confrontations that Howard and his team have experienced".[2] The program does not make it clear until the closing credits that the events depicted are in fact reenactments.[3] On November 13, 2012, Spike announced that the series had been renewed for a second season which debuted on March 12, 2013.[4][5]

Premise

The half-hour show follows three property-eviction specialists as they forcibly remove problem tenants from residential, commercial and retail units. The viewers are taken behind the scenes of the disputes between landlords and tenants. Episodes have included a portly man stuck in a bathtub, a man operating a sweatshop in his garage and an elderly woman with over 20 cannabis plants in a room.[6]
