Teresa and Bill risk eviction from their home of 40 years, where they live with their son. In court, they are applying for possession, after falling into £900 rent arrears, half of it since the introduction of bedroom tax. They have very little hope of moving to a smaller property because of a lack of council homes. Theresa says, “I’m living in fear of being homeless. We’ve lived in this town all our lives and my father helped build it. We’ve been working here for so long, and have been paying our taxes and rent all our lives, until we ran into difficulties when we lost our jobs.”
