What is Tenancy Fraud?

Triangle defines Tenancy Fraud as “any intentional false representation, including failure to declare information or abuse of position that is carried out to make gain, cause loss or expose another to risk of loss”

Types of Tenancy Fraud include:

• Not living in your house as your main home.
• Letting ALL of your house to others without permission.
• “Key Selling” to third parties,
• Advertising your Triangle home to let or arranging someone else to live in your home.
• Giving the wrong information either about yourself, your circumstances or housing conditions to get a Triangle property,
• Giving your tenancy to someone else or others who are not allowed or without official permission.
• Giving the wrong information in order to gain a succession upon the death of a tenant.
