A couple who are parents to two young children have been left 'helpless and homeless' after returning home to their property they were renting out to find the tenants had not left. It has left Carna and Ganes Brooks, parents of a one-year-old and nine-year-old child, left with no other option but to sofa surf for four weeks with their suitcases.
They informed their tenants they would be moving back to their property in Dartford, Kent, from Dubai in February this year so that by May they would need to have left. But a cancer diagnosis and treatment for Carna pushed their arrival back to July.
They were back on July 19 but have been forced to stay at friends for more than a month as the tenants refuse to leave, KentLive reports. They will be unlikely to enter their own property again until November, they are told, as they seek to gain an eviction notice through the courts.
