Tenancy fraud

Tenancy fraud is a criminal offence and can lead to eviction.

Tenancy fraud is usually one of the following;

  • sub-letting your home (or part of it) to someone we know nothing about
  • not living in the property as your main home
  • telling us lies about who you are or the circumstances you’re in so that we let a property to you
  • key selling - passing on your key to someone else for a one-off payment.
