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.

Keely told the Manchester Evening News of the moment she came back from hospital after yet another admission with her son to a gutting letter. “My son was admitted to hospital in January, I came home to a letter through the front door," she explained.
"It was a section 21. I decided to approach the landlord but that was not successful, it’s not her fault - she wants to resell the property."
The 23-year-old sent in an application for council or social housing through Manchester Move, Manchester City Council's housing solutions programme run in conjunction with not-for-profit landlords. But since then, Keely says she has been told she is still hundreds down the list for a home - even though she ranks as an urgent case.
