A desperate couple who moved back from Dubai have been left "homeless" after returning to their front door with their suitcases only to find their tenant was yet to move out.
Carna and Ganes Brooks, who have a one-year-old and a nine-year-old, have been sofa surfing for more than four weeks with no power to get back into their own home. The Brooks told their tenants in February they were moving back home to Dartford in May and they needed to leave, but their return was delayed to July because of Carna's cancer diagnosis and treatment.
But they have been forced to sleep on friends' sofas for the past month, seemingly powerless to act. The family is unlikely to get under their own roof again until November, as they pursue the eviction route through the courts.
