Family eviction

Crash victim's family told to leave state house

The family of 10, including a one-month-old baby, live in the three-bedroom state house in Manurewa.

But the woman's eldest daughter, Miria Esera, said Housing New Zealand has told them they have to find somewhere else to live, because the tenancy agreement was with Ms Esera's mother and it could not be transferred.

She said she feared they would end up on the streets if they could not stay in the house, or did not find somewhere else to live.

Ms Esera said she was a 28-year-old solo mother to two young girls.
