Decision details

To present the reviewed Housing Tenancy Fraud Policy document.

That the Housing Tenancy Fraud Policy be approved.

None.

As a Registered Provider of social housing, we had obligations under the Prevention of Social Housing Fraud Act 2013 to identify and prevent tenancy fraud.

It was also a requirement of the Regulator’s Tenancy Standard that we make every effort to identify and prevent tenancy fraud.

The policy provided the legal and regulatory context for managing tenancy fraud.

It made clear reference to measures we would take to identify, prevent, and minimise the risk of tenancy fraud occurring.

It reflected a clear intent that we would take decisive action where we had evidence that fraud had taken place, including supporting prosecutions.

LTP had been consulted on the content of the policy They had confirmed that they found the policy easy to read and provided a clear understanding of preventing, identifying, and acting on tenancy fraud.
