Foiling the fraudsters - how to detect and collect evidence of tenancy fraud

In this webinar, Angela Piears and Karolina Zielinska consider what to do if you suspect that a tenant has made fraudulent representations about who they are or where they are living, and offer their tips and tricks on preventative measures that can be used to prevent or discourage tenancy fraud from the outset of the landlord-tenant relationship.

​Discussion includes:

  • Evidence-gathering for use in court proceedings
  • Remedies available in civil and criminal law, including unlawful profit orders
