A council housing tenant said he and his family have been left for three years in “unliveable” accommodation that “is not even fit for animals”.
As well as dealing with conditions including an infestation of mice and cockroaches and an “asbestos-filled ceiling” at the property in Mitcham, south London, Kwajo Tweneboa said he and his two siblings were threatened with eviction when their father died from cancer last year.
The 22-year-old said he was driven to share pictures on social media of his rotten kitchen and mouldy wallpaper out of sheer desperation.
He told the PA news agency: “I’ve had to put it online and embarrass myself.

A council housing tenant said he and his family have been left for three years in âunliveableâ accommodation that âis not even fit for animalsâ.
Kwajo Tweneboa said he is embarrassed at having to post pictures of his home on social media (Stefan Rousseau/PA) A council tenant from Mitcham has spoken out on the unliveable housing conditions that he and his family have been forced to live in for the past three years. Kwajo Tweneboa, 22, said he and his two younger siblings have been left to deal with an infestation of mice and cockroaches at the property which also has an “asbestos-filled ceiling”. He is now forced to shower at the gym because the light in his bathroom is filled with rainwater, the room has no window, the taps on the shower are rusted, and tiles are falling off the wall.
