Tenancy fraud covers deception to obtain or misuse a tenancy, including false information, forged documents, or impersonation designed to secure housing or a better tenancy outcome. A solicitor practises in this area reviews applications, tenancy agreements and related evidence, advises on remedies, and coordinates enforcement action. They may draft and issue notices, assist with investigations, apply for injunctions or civil orders, and work with landlords, agents and authorities to protect legitimate tenancies and recover losses.
