Tenancy Fraud

Did you know that £1 BILLION is lost to tenancy fraud every year? This isn't a victimless crime—it affects your community and your tax money!

Tenancy fraud, which includes subletting, providing false information, and abandonment, is a criminal offence and can lead to up to 2 years in prison.

Why should you care?

  • 1 in 100 homes are illegally sublet, taking housing away from families who truly need it.
  • Over 1 million families are on the waiting list for social housing.
  • Your tax money contributes £27 per person to fix damage caused by this fraud.

What to look for:

  • Unusual activity in your community
  • People moving in & out regularly
  • Empty or abandoned property

Help us keep homes for those who need them most. If you suspect tenancy fraud, report it!
