A Bangladeshi father of nine who receives disability benefits says he will fight against being evicted from a retirement home where he lives with his wife and young twin daughters - unless they are found somewhere bigger.
Shahidul Haque, 59, who claims benefits for sleep apnea and depression, moved into the single-room flat in David Smith Court, a complex reserved for residents over the age of 55, last July.
But just five months later he moved his 28-year-old wife Jakia Sultana Monni and their three-year-old daughters into the property.
Mr Haque said he did not realise he was not allowed to move his family into the specialist accommodation for the elderly, because he does not speak enough English to understand the tenancy agreement.
Now he is battling his eviction, claiming that kicking his family out of the accommodation would breach his rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) - which protects the right to a family life.
