This policy outlines Sandwell Council's approach to tenancy fraud, detailing the procedures for its prevention, detection, reporting, and investigation.

Given the limited supply of social housing, Sandwell Council is dedicated to ensuring that housing is allocated to those in greatest need and to individuals for whom it is specifically intended. The Council recognises that preventing and eliminating tenancy fraud is a crucial step in achieving this goal.
