Problems to report to your social landlord
You should speak to your social landlord about:
- problems with paying rent
- repairs
- claims for damage
- anti-social behaviour in your neighbourhood or building
- safety and hygiene in your home
- your housing conditions
- damp and mould
- suspected tenancy fraud
Reporting tenancy fraud
Tenancy fraud is when someone is dishonest to get or keep a social housing property that they're not entitled to.
This may be because they:
- gave false information on their application (for example lying about household members or income)
- don't live at the property as their main home
- rent the property onto someone else without permission
- have taken over the tenancy after the original tenant has died but they are not legally entitled to
Tenancy fraud reduces the number of homes available for people who genuinely need social housing. If you suspect tenancy fraud, report it to your social landlord.
