Report Housing Fraud

We take housing fraud very seriously. If you know or suspect housing fraud is taking place, including illegal sub-letting, please let us know. Here are some of the types of housing fraud we want to know about:

• Someone is sub-letting a property or applying for the right to buy and living somewhere else;
• Someone is working but hasn’t told the Housing Benefits team about their income;
• Someone hasn’t told the Housing Benefits team about someone else living in their home;
• Someone is renting their garage or parking space to another person;
• Someone is mis-using an estate parking permit.
