Terrified mum-of-two 'squatting in her own home' after being served eviction notice

A terrified mum-of-two who has to look after her severely ill son says she is 'essentially squatting' in her own home after being served an eviction notice.

Frightened mother-of-two Keely Elliott is pleading with the council for help after being served a section 21 eviction notice from her private rental in January. Despite her 14-month-old baby being plagued with multiple rare disorders, Keely has been forced to try and find new housing but claims the family are '480th' in the queue for council accommodation and could be waiting up to five years for another home.

Keely says she transformed the New Moston property she is currently still living in in with her children to be suitable for her poorly son, Kario. She says she doesn't want to move to another private rental due to the risk that she may be served a section 21 again, as well as the disruption potentially putting Kario's shaky health even more at risk.
