World's Worst Tenants is an American television series on Spike. It premiered on June 12, 2012. [1] 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 has been renewed for a second season which debuted on March 12, 2013. [4] [5]
