A tenant sent dog muck, dead moths, nettles and a dead bird to his letting agent when he was threatened with eviction.
Mark Coleman, 47, sent four packages to Don Scott, owner of Home-Start estate agents, in Hanley, and also poured blue paint at the shop and put up offensive homophobic posters.
North Staffordshire magistrates heard that Coleman and his wife were sent a notice on June 2 telling them they were being evicted from their home in Kidsgrove because they had not paid the rent.
But the court heard that Coleman was at the end of his tether because nothing had been done to fix problems he had been having with the house since 2005.
Coleman admitted the offences when he was arrested by police, and pleaded guilty to harassment.
Peter Howland, mitigating, said Coleman and his wife had moved into his rented property in 2002 and had repeatedly complained about the boiler, hot water tank and gas fire but nothing was done.
Coleman was handed a 12-month community order by the magistrates, with a 12-month supervision requirement.
