Laura and Marcus Knight offered their two-bedroom flat in Tooting, South London, to Syrian refugees in 2017 through the UK government’s Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme.
The couple received a £2,000 incentive payment and £1,310 a month in housing benefit for the property.
A first Syrian family stayed for a year before another family, a couple and their child, moved in in November 2018 and remained there for nearly eight years.
The Knights now want the flat back so their 19-year-old son Zach, a student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, can live there.
They gave notice in April and expected the tenants to leave in August.
Five months later, they still haven't regained possession.
“We were always told by the council we could reclaim the flat whenever we wanted,” Laura Knight said.
Morning from the village, fan belt man has gone to work and three creaking sounds from the roof possibly means a sink hole is opening up

As darkness falls on 27/9/26 cricket grounds will now fall silent until April 2027 when the sight of players in creams and the sound of bat on ball makes a return, until then, adieu
