A FRIGHTENED 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.
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 to find new housing.
She says she transformed the New Moston property she is living in with her children to be suitable for her poorly son, Kario.
Keely, 23, said: "My son was admitted to hospital in January, I came home to a letter. 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."
Keely sent in an application for council or social housing through Manchester Move, the council's housing solutions programme run in conjunction with not-for-profit landlords.
The family has been placed in Band 2 with a priority medical need which recognises a significant housing requirement, according to the council. Band 1 would reflect an emergency housing need, such as an imminent threat to life.
