Family left homeless as tenants of house they rented out 'refuse to leave'

A couple with two young children have been left 'helpless and homeless' as the tenants they rented their house to while in Dubai 'refuse to leave'. Carna and Ganes Brooks informed their renters back in February that they would be moving back into their property in Dartford, Kent, in three months time.

However, their plans to return to the UK in May were delayed after Carna was diagnosed with cancer and underwent treatment in the United Arab Emirates. They eventually arrived back in the UK on July 19 - only to find that their tenants had still not moved out of their property, Manchester Evening News reports.

The couple, who have one-year-old and nine-year-old child, were left with no option but to stay at a friend's house. Now, the family have been sofa-surfing and living out of their suitcases for four weeks, with their 'nightmare' set to continue for several more months.
