A LONDONER and her 14-year-old daughter were evicted from their home yesterday after the council threw out her original agreement to pay her delayed rent.

The Haringey resident, known as M, has lived in temporary accommodation for the last decade and had recently fallen behind on rent.

M appealed last week to a local campaigning group after she was told by the local authorities that she would be made homeless.

“She made a formal agreement to pay off her arrears — she kept up with the arrangement and then was given a court order for possession,” said Haringey Housing Action Group’s Dave Rayns.

The group said that the council would ruin M and her daughter’s chances to get on the housing list again by claiming that she made herself “intentionally homeless.”

He explained that when M’s circumstances changed and her older daughter moved out in 2011, the council had not helped her move from a three to a two-bedroom home.

“You could say, they exacerbated the financial problem that was already upon her,” said Mr Rayns.

He said that M had been suffering from stress, anxiety and depression since her financial problems began and had to take medication as a result.

M spent the day awaiting for a meeting at the council’s housing office and she was too shaken by the ideal to speak to the press.

Mr Rayns added: “We just feel the council should be preventing homelessness and doing everything in their power to prevent it, not pushing people onto the street, which is going cost the taxpayer more in the long run.”
