PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A Philadelphia couple struggling with homelessness filmed their experience living in a storage container, and their video was viewed more than 12 million times on social media.
But they say when the storage facility found out about it, the couple was asked to leave.
Leland Brown and his girlfriend, Breanna Hubbard, have been struggling with homelessness and used the storage unit for shelter during the winter.
But now the couple has until the end of the month to find another place to stay.
Brown says management at the storage facility found out about their video and asked them to leave because they violated the terms of their lease.
“We read the terms, it says if you get caught living here, you can lose the storage unit, so I’m not upset at them about that,” Brown said.
The couple has been experiencing homelessness for the past year and a half and living in a tent in the woods.
It didn’t seem like life could get much harder for them, but it did.
