Social housing fraud is an important and high profile issue. This title provides a thorough overview of this regime and how local authorities can maximise their chances of recovering possession of properties affected by fraud, obtaining 'compensation' and securing a conviction, including techniques for effective evidence gathering.

Topics covered, include: - Possession action in the county court - Sub-letting/parting with possession - Investigation powers - Criminal offences and procedure - Civil remedies - GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018

The new edition has been fully updated and includes: - A greater emphasis on investigations and data protection; - Update on proceeds of crime act orders, and other restitutionary remedies; - Norwich Pharmacal order explanation in light of RBKC v Airbnb case.

For ease of reference, relevant primary and secondary legislation has been included within the appendices. These also include templates for: Particulars of Claim (county court), Complaint (magistrates' court), Notice to Quit and Notice Seeking Possession. There is also a useful landlord checklist, to ensure nothing has been overlooked during what can be a complex process.
