A FAMILY have been forced to split up after their tenant refused to leave their house and left them homeless.
Carna and Ganes Brooks returned to their property in Dartford, Kent from Dubai in July, only to find the house still occupied.
The couple, who have two young children, had contacted the tenant back in February to ask them to leave.
But after the tenant refused, the family ended up being locked out for 16 weeks and are still living out of suitcases.
They had returned to their front door with their suitcases andexhausted children to find their tenants were still inside.
