Big rent rise causes 66-year-old to live in a van
A 66-year-old woman is living in a converted van after a large rent increase on the flat she rented.
Lyn Pearman, from Ramsgate, Kent, said the rent on her flat rose from Β£433 to Β£700 per month and she was evicted.
She chose to sell her possessions and paid Β£6,000 for a converted airport transfer which she has been living in for a month.
Ms Pearman said: "You've got to make the best of things and now van life is my life."
