Tenancy fraud

Tenancy fraud is something we take very seriously. Not only is it a criminal offence, but it stops our homes from being used by the people who need them the most. So, if we suspect it, we will tackle it.

If you’re unsure of what tenancy fraud is or how you can help us prevent it, we’ve put together some useful information telling you everything you need to know.

What is tenancy fraud?

Tenancy fraud is committed when:

  • A resident is living somewhere else without our knowledge or consent
  • A person is living in a Triathalon Homes without our knowledge or consent
  • False information is provided in order to obtain a tenancy agreement.

If you’re a Triathalon Homes resident and carrying out tenancy fraud, this is a breach of your tenancy agreement and against the law. To end your tenancy with us please call 01403 220440.

Support for subtenants

In some cases, subtenants are not aware that they have been unlawfully subletting a property. If you have been a victim of unlawfully subletting, please call our service centre on 01403 220440 for advice.

What are we doing to prevent tenancy fraud?
