A couple have been forced to live in their CAR after being made homeless. They have been bedding down in the Audi for over a week - with only blankets, pillows, medication and a few appliances they cannot even use. The couple sleep by putting a blanket up to block out light from the front window and then lay the front seats back covered in pillows and blankets. The car is parked up overnight where they can find a spot - and they use public toilets and service stations to wash. Friday Quick, 50, described the enforced lifestyle as "degrading." Her nightmare began in March when she and her two sons, who were renting a property, were issued with a Section 21 notice which allows landlords to evict a tenant without giving a reason. They were told that the landlord’s situation had changed and that he may need to sell the house in in Chatham, Kent. The family were given until July 8 to move out. While her sons were able to move, Ms Quick was unable to find somewhere new. Her partner, Richard Warrior, moved in with her and the pair constantly applied for flats through the council, privately, and were put on multiple waiting lists. But they were constantly turned down due to their financial situation and lack of a guarantor leading them to be evicted and made homeless on Thursday October 27.
