Family faces eviction for withholding rent as 'damp' council home is 'falling to pieces'

A family who have withheld rent due to their home "falling to pieces" around them are now facing homelessness as the council threatens them with eviction.

Full-time carer Marie McManus and her family owe £4,000 to Lambeth Council over their home, which is in need of multiple repairs.

The 38-year-old shares temporary accommodation in Brixton Hill, south London, with her mum Agnes, 67, who recently suffered a stroke, and brothers Chris, 33, and 31-year-old Adam.
