They move from one sofa to another for more than a month. Their clothes are still in the bags and what little they have, scattered in the suitcases. This is how this family lives, thanks to the generosity of their friends.
But meat Y Ganes Brooks they establish their home in Dartford, Kent, Great Britain and two little daughters: one 9 year old and one 1 year old.
But they also have a problem: your own house is “usurped” by temporary tenants who do not want to leave it. Therefore, they make sure they hear as desperate as defenseless in the face of the dramatic situation.
Evicted from your home: how the story began
Carna, Ganes and the children went to live in Dubai for a while for work reasons. At that time they decided rent your house not to leave it empty and, at the same time, to be able to get money.
They left it fully furnished to a woman they knew and that he moved there with his family.
Last February, the couple told their tenants they would be back in May and that at that moment they should goreported Kentlive.
Eventually, however, the Brooks delayed their return and they arrived on July 19th – two months later – due to the cancer diagnosis and treatment that Carna, the mother of the little ones, had to face.
Since that day, unable to resolve the conflict, I have been living from house to house unable to return alone.
And, according to the outlet, the couple are unlikely to go back under their roof until end of the yearbecause they had to start eviction process in local courts.
The nightmare of a family who just wants to get their home back
The couple said the tenants not alone late payment of the rent but they ignored the notification (That Kentlive claims to have seen) where they were asked to retrieve the house before June 28.
Even later, the deadline for their departure was extended until July 13 and the Brooks couple confirmed that they accepted. give up the rent to help them put together a deposit so they can relocate.
But it came on July 19, the hottest day of the year in Britain, and the family was left on the doorstep, in scorching temperatures, without being able to enter and with the tenant inside.
“We called the policeman asking for sensible advice on the matter as we looked hopelessly at each other, ”Carna said (39).
And he added: “My one-year-old daughter was screaming in the heat, everyone was worried and during all the negotiations, my nine year old daughter was hit by a car in front of our house. Fortunately he was not seriously injured, but it was a day we would not wish anyone “.
At that moment the police came to help, they were kind but could not offer solutions like them they would break the law if they tried to enter your property.
“Fortunately, a friend offered to welcome us at that time to protect us from the sun and gave us a place to stay a few nights“, detailed the woman.
Over the next few days, the Brooks continued the interviews with tenants and launched various strategies to get the house back sooner rather than later.
“Unfortunately, the result is simply waiting for the date of the hearing and eviction,” clarified the woman.
Until a few days ago the family was forced to rest on a sofa and Ganes, the 42-year-old father, had sleep sitting. Fortunately, they have now been able to stay for a few days at the home of some friends who have gone on vacation.
Bad decision
“We leave you a fully functional houseEven with new sheets and towels, new slippers by the bed, new comfortable pajamas, cupboards full of groceries and a first week grocery delivery. “
They thought it was the right thing to do. They also rented the house for below market value to help them financially and, at the same time, to take care of their belongings.
“We had a signed lease”Carna confirmed on the situation.
At the time he described a desperate situation: “We do not receive the rent of the tenants, therefore, we cannot rent another property for ourselves, as we are hedging the mortgage on someone else’s house.
“We would spend part of August settling in our home, organizing routines, making our home safe for our baby, go to school and prepare supplies and uniforms. Instead, we live without suitcases and try to reassure our daughters that everything will be fine, “she said.
The Brooks have a court hearing for eviction inside October, and the tenant must be given one month’s notice to leave. even the oncologist de Carna wrote to the tenant, explaining how vital it was a “stress-free environment” for your recovery.
In this sense, the woman warned those who rent their properties to contact a rental agent. The couple, she claimed, learned from their “nightmare” of homeowners they had little power to evict your tenant.
What did the tenant say?
The tenant said Kentlive: “This is fun. We’ve been paying rent for three years. We’ve been paying your mortgage for three years.”
He added, “Yes, it’s their home. It has also been our home for the past three years. We’re paying them. I don’t need to tell you my side of the story. None of your business, please.” Why should we look for another place? I don’t need to explain to you or anyone else. “
The woman asked that no one contact her anymore.
