Review of Tenancy Fraud Processes

Closed 3 Jul 2024

Opened 19 Jun 2024

Overview

It remains the unfortunate case that some publicly funded housing in Northern Ireland is being occupied by individuals and families who are not entitled to be there.  This fraudulent activity deprives families in most need of a home and creates additional costs for the taxpayer. Much good work is carried out by Housing Associations and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive to tackle tenancy fraud.  The Social Housing Policy team within the Department for Communities is now undertaking a review of how tenancy fraud is managed across Housing Associations with a view to gaining knowledge, sharing best practice and ensuring progress is made in tackling this important issue.

Why your views matter

You can help by providing information about your Association, experiences and procedures in relation to tenancy fraud.

What happens next

Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire.  The Social Housing Policy team will collate and consider all responses and will be back in contact with your organisation again soon to discuss the next steps of this important review.  Thank you.
