A Lotus River grandmother says she has literally been left without a roof over her head after her landlord removed the roof of her rented house.

Cape Town - A Lotus River grandmother says she has literally been left without a roof over her head after her landlord removed the roof of her rented house in order to kick her out.

She says in the spat over her separate entrance in Zeekoevlei, the landlord allegedly tried to force them out by removing the roof and doors, leaving them exposed to the elements. She says her son had made plans to sell his car to pay the landlord the outstanding money, but they got a fright on 13 August when they returned home to find the roof gone.

The grandmother took the landlord to the Rental Housing Tribunal who ordered him to fix the property and let them return.
