Jobless Migrant Couple With 8 Kids Snub 4-Bedroom Council House In The UK

A Cameroonian migrant couple in the UK living solely on tax payers money have turned down the three, four, five -bed terrace houses they were offered and are demanding for a property with at least 6 bedrooms.

According to Daily Mail, UK, Arnold Mballe Sube, his wife Jeanne, both 33, and their children live in a three-bedroom, end-of-terrace home in Luton, Bedfordshire – which they describe as ‘the worst place they’ve ever lived’.

The couple turned down three properties including a four and five-bed home thought to be worth between £250,000-£270,000 – and are demanding a property with at least six double bedrooms.

The family received more than £100,000 last year in benefits and while they waited to move into their current home, Luton Borough Council housed them for almost four months at the town’s £160-per-night Hampton by Hilton hotel, costing £38,400.

However Luton Borough Council today issued an ultimatum to the couple – either they accept a formal offer of another available four or five bedroom property or make themselves ‘intentionally homeless’.
They will then be required to find their own home through the private rental market.
Labour councillor Tom Shaw, who is in charge of housing at Luton borough council, revealed the family only viewed one property before turning down two others they were offered.

The family have received annual hand-outs worth £44,000 since they arrived in the UK – made up of housing and child benefits, as well as child tax credits and NHS course payments.
