- Book Synopsis
- This book sets out the options available to local housing authorities and housing associations, primarily by reference to England, in seeking to detect and act upon housing fraud. It has been written with four particular questions in mind: - What are the options available to a social landlord seeking to obtain the evidence to detect fraud? - How can they, in practical terms and employing best practice, recover the premises which have been 'misused' by the tenant? - Can they receive financial 'compensation' from the fraudsters? - What are the criminal repercussions of the fraud? The Third Edition includes coverage of: - Norwich Pharmacal orders in light of RBKC v Airbnb - Updates on Proceeds of Crime Act orders and other restitutionary remedies - Investigations and data protection - Possession action in the county court - Sub-letting/parting with possession - Investigation powers - Criminal offences and procedure - Civil remedies - The impact of new legislation, such as the Renters' Rights Act 2025 For ease of reference, relevant primary and secondary legislation has been included within the appendices. These also include templates for: Particulars of Claim (county court), Information (magistrates' court), Notice to Quit and Notice Seeking Possession. There is also a useful landlord checklist, to ensure nothing has been overlooked during what can be a complex process. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Local Government Law and Property and Land Law online services.
