A childminder is fearing homelessness and unemployment as her landlord evicts her to turn the property into an HMO.
Sarah, 50, has never missed a rent payment in the 14 years she's lived in her four-bed house on Ashdale Road off Rice Lane in Walton. She raised two sons and runs a childminding business here. She laid the floors and plastered the hallway herself.
Just last year, she spent £2k on new window blinds for the living room. She wouldn't have bothered if she knew what was to come. A few weeks ago she got a call from her landlord saying he'd sold the property to his son, who is turning it into a house in multiple occupation (HMO). A Section 21 eviction notice would soon arrived through her letter box.
