Tenant and Sub-Letting Checks

 

Stop Subletting and Tenancy Abuse

 

  • Do you have suspicions of subletting in your property portfolio?

  • Do you think some of your tenants might own another home or do not live in your property as their principle and only home?

  • Does your investigations team waste valuable time and effort on fruitless doorstop enquiries?

  • Would you like to establish linked addresses or business interests of those tenants where there is suspicion?

If you've answered yes to just one of these questions then a “Lets Inspect” Residence Report from Cerberus is what you need.

 

Last year, the Audit Commission estimated that as many as 50,000 social homes (about 1 in 100 housing association and council homes) across the country may be occupied fraudulently; however tackling unlawful subletting or occupancy is a resource-intensive process for both Housing Associations and Local Councils. Now it is time to take action.

Following the recent Communities and Local Government report ‘Tackling unlawful subletting and occupancy: Good Practice Guidance for social landlords’, Cerberus Investigations Limited has created a fast and affordable solution to identify potential data discrepancies or establish subletting and tenancy abuse.

Before committing valuable time and money making home visit enquiries to establish if there is a suspicion of subletting, the “Lets Inspect” Residency Report from Cerberus will provide to you the following:

-        Any other Linked Addresses to the current tenant(s)

-        Searches of all available subscription tracing and address databases

-        Assessment of tenant(s) residency at the let property

-        Limited and Non-Limited company director checks

-        Internet and Media check to establish more information on the tenant

The "Lets Inspect" report will identify any addresses past and present which may be of interest to your Investigations Team, along with any business activities or other associations. The report will also providean assessment of current residency by the tenant at the property and provide a public presence profile which may reveal previously unknown information.

For just £75 (plus VAT) per check you can receive this information BEFORE conducting a home visit. This documentary evidence can not only assist greatly in bringing action against tenancy abuse and unlawful subletting, but will give you the proof needed if Possession Proceedings become necessary.
