Tenancy Fraud Initiative

Help stop Tenancy Cheats.Every Home Counts

We've teamed up with Registered Housing Providers accross Manchester to tackle Tenancy Fraud.

Do you know someone who:

  • Is subletting or renting out their Housing Association home without permission?
  • Is not using their property as their sole or principle home?
  • Has used false documents to get a home?

What can you do to help?
We are working hard to track down Tenancy Cheats and ensure that homes are given to people who really need them.

Your help in reporting tenancy cheats is important because you can see what is happening in your neighbourhood.

  • You might know that someone has a home that we don’t know about, or that gave false information in their housing application
  • You might suspect someone of subletting if you have seen them collect rent from your neighbours
  • You might be suspicious because the tenants of a property keep changing

Click here to tell us about your suspicions, and we’ll follow it up. If your tip-off leads us to recover a home you may get a reward of £100.

If you suspect someone is a tenancy cheat, please let us know. It could make a big difference to people in real need.
