WHAT IS RESIDENTIAL FRAUD?
Residential fraud refers to the unauthorized use of a property, where the tenant or occupant uses the property for purposes other than those legally permitted. This can result in financial losses and legal complications for the owner or landlord. Below are some common examples of residential fraud:
EXAMPLES OF RESIDENTIAL FRAUD
ILLEGAL SUBLETTING
The tenant rents out the property to third parties without permission, often for short stays or vacation rentals, which is not allowed under the lease agreement.
FALSE REGISTRATION
Individuals register at an address without actually residing there, for purposes such as accessing municipal services or for fraudulent activities.
USE AS BUSINESS SPACE
A property is used for business activities, such as an office or commercial space, in violation of the lease agreement and without the landlord's consent.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
The property is occupied by multiple individuals who are not legally permitted to reside in the country, potentially leading to legal complications for the owner.
WHEN IS A RESIDENTIAL FRAUD INVESTIGATION NECESSARY?
A residential fraud investigation may be necessary if, as a landlord, homeowner, or property manager, you suspect that your property is being used unlawfully. This can lead to financial loss and legal risks. SECUWEST offers professional support in investigating these situations, helping you gather the necessary evidence to take legal action or terminate the lease agreement.
