My brother has been living with my mum for over a year he got evicted from his last place.
He hasn't even brought a bed he has been sleeping on the sofa the whole time.

My poor mum has just came out of hospital after being in for a week.he isn't helping her with her shopping or nothing. She has just rang me in tears saying she wants him out. I'm not sure if she anxiety or some kind of mental health problems but she is saying every time he comes near her she is feeling unwell.

He owes the council rent from a previous tenancy he has no money or job nothing. So no ways of getting a property. Is their anything we can do? My poor mum said she felt like packing up and leaving this morning.

Thanks everyone

Your poor mum. I take it he won't listen to her if she tries to aalk to him

She can ask him to leave and he'll have to find somewhere to go.

She needs to kick him out then. Could he stay with you or someone else instead?

I don't want him with me he's so unhygienic it's unreal and to be honest he makes me angry doesn't want to work just sits on his arse doing nothing every single day. The thing is if she kicks him out where is he going to go.

I've found some rooms to rent but he said he wants a flat even though he sits in one room all day glued to the tv so I don't know why he wants a flat.

I don't know what else I can do for her he has no money or references to even rent the room as he always get evicted for spending the housing benefit.

He might know someone to go to or could ask the council to house him. He could go to a homeless shelter.

Unless he has mental health issues Your brother needs something to motivate him. Your mum needs to ask him to leave. Give him a specific date and then if he won’t go, have the locks changed. If she doesn’t he’ll be there for ever.

Maybe a week or two in a hostel will get his attention.

does she own the flat or rent it, is he even supposed to be living there if it's rented or a council property. she can ask him to leave, he has contributed nothing financially, he needs to check himself into a homeless shelter, or he can call Shelter, get a job, earn some money and move out.
