Tenancy Fraud is depriving genuine families of a home. This site aims to highlight some of those that get caught and the dedicated people that catch them.

Good news the other day, one property linked to one of my investigations but with another RP - they have now been granted outright possession. 🏡🔑

Threat of snow in the forecast- great news if investigating street properties - very helpful showing if anyone has left the property before you knock.

Lots of changes being brought in by the Renters Rights Bill especially longer notice periods.

Yet more great work from the estate manager - suspects that six properties are being used for short term lets.

Visit confirms that all have identical key safes in their post boxes.

Turns out one agency running them all.

Excellent work.

It’s always good to have a vigilant concierge at a block. Most recent information leads to discover of a four year sublet.

Just completed to reports where the collective income/profit is over £250,000 for the two 🏡🏡

Something I missed in the budget was the changes to RTB.

Outside London discount to be reduced to £16k.

Inside London to be reduced to £38k

Wow

Having caught a shared owner out regards subletting it becomes very suspicious when they say. “I did enquire about Staircasing but no one got back to me” 🚩🚩🚩Big red flag!!

2 This confirmed he had been renting since 2010 plus a series of tenancy agreements that he had given his sub tenant.

Gold dust - it’s not often something like that drops in your lap. 👍👍🏡

Been a little quiet on here as I have been a busy but just thought I’d shared a few interesting cases with you.

1 Sub tenant being evicted by her ‘landlord’ in fact he was granted possession but later suspended. Because of the legal action she had the disclosed bundle which included his statement.

I know it’s great when a sub tenant cooperates with you but whilst very useful I do think that 57 emails in about 5 minutes could be viewed as over the top. Bank statements, text messages & agreements all very useful though. Moral - be a good landlord. 😂🏡🔑

Sunday morning, bright and early. Tenants are reported to have left the UK a few weeks ago, so we’ll soon see if it’s empty or someone else has moved in.

Back to the early morning start in a few hours. Looks like the property has been sublet for the last 13 years, with at least three sets of subtenants.

Tipped off by the water board which we are very grateful for.

I’m currently involved with my first RRO at the moment and drafting my statement. Potential £14k return for the applicants aside of the compensation with their landlord not placing their deposit in a scheme.

[🏠🏠 Tenancy Fraud 🏠🏠 @tenancyfraud]

Rent repayment orders are not something I was familiar with until recently but good to see they are being applied for and the applicants are winning.

It is yet another means to hit the ‘landlord’ where it hurts and provide a realistic deterrent to illegal subletting. 🏡🔑👍

Interesting Teams meeting with a shared owner today. Starts off by lying and that he doesn’t sublet but faced with the evidence from the last 8 years finishes very deflated & agreeing to sell.
Can’t argue with evidence especially when some are emails that you’ve sent yourself.

Back in London on a bright sunny morning. Waiting for an appropriate time to knock. Rumour has it since my last visit all 5 subtenants got evicted and a sole tenant is in occupation. I guess we’ll see in about an hour #tenancycheats

[🏠🏠 Tenancy Fraud 🏠🏠 @tenancyfraud]

When someone says they’re a friend of the tenant ( who is no where in sight) and only been there two days, seems to contradict the credit report that places a bank account registered at that address which was last updated by the bank over three weeks ago. Don’t ring true.

You know you’re on the right track when you find someone hiding in a cupboard when you’re on a visit. 😂😂#tenancycheats #tenancyfraud
