This is the shocking moment a controversial landlord, who claims to be worth millions, allegedly evicted a tenant by cutting a hole in their door with a chainsaw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Footage showing Samuel Leeds, 29, cutting through the door has been shared widely online but some have questioned if all is as Samuel says it is.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Mr Leeds captioned a photo of him holding a chainsaw in front of the door: ‘Today, I had to evict somebody out of my property with a chainsaw.<\/p>\n
‘If they were at a hotel and refused to check out, security would break entry within the hour.<\/p>\n
‘My lawyer suggested I send a certified bailiff, but I figured it was more fun doing it myself.’<\/p>\n

The post was flagged by X, who added context to the post that Mr Leeds often posts ‘outlandish’ claiming to get engagement and questioned the legitimacy of the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They wrote: ‘This person is known for making outlandish claims for engagement and has presented no evidence that this is the result of an eviction.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Additionally, it is illegal for anyone other than a court bailiff to carry out an eviction, further casting doubt on the post.<\/p>\n
Mr Leeds also asked his followers on X, ‘If you owned a property and somebody wasn\u2019t paying and expected you to foot the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He attached two answers, ‘evict them’ or ‘let them stay’.<\/p>\n

In response to the post, one X user wrote: ‘Go through the legal route for eviction. That\u2019s what intelligent people do.’<\/p>\n
Another said: ‘Because it\u2019s you and what you posted, I\u2019d let them stay.’<\/p>\n
While a third said: ‘To those that voted let them stay please get in touch with me I would be willing to stay rent free’.<\/p>\n
