Tenancy fraud

Types of tenancy fraud, why and how we tackle it, report it. Check your rights if you're a subtenant of a sublet social home.

Report tenancy fraud

We can only investigate tenancy fraud against council housing stock that is owned or managed by us, or on our behalf.

In these cases you can report the fraud to us. 

The more information you can provide the better, as it will help with our investigation. 

Everything you share will be treated in the strictest confidence. You don't need to give your personal details.

All reports of tenancy fraud are reviewed by our housing investigations team. 

We aim to review all reports within 10 working days of being received. 

In most cases, we are unable to provide you with updates or information about an investigation.

Report tenancy fraud 

If you want to report tenancy fraud that's not in Southwark, report it to the relevant local council.
