A young family with a one-year-old baby are facing eviction from their home because of their pet dogs. Connor Sullivan and his partner Jordanna, both 18, live in a house in multiple occupation (HMO) in Birmingham with their daughter Lexi and their dogs, Birmingham Live reports.

They now face homelessness after being told the pets are a 'safety hazard'. Connor claimed that Everbright Housing had 'no problem' with him having pets when he first moved into the property in March, although the housing company refutes this.

The family said the eviction notice came after the fire service was called out to the house three weeks ago, when Jordanna became stuck in the bathroom due to a jammed door lock.

The family were given a final deadline to leave the property by August 18, but remained there eight days later as they said 'we have nowhere to go'.
