A tenant was forced to return keys after being investigated for not disclosing home ownership in South West London. This individual was reported for allegedly winning a competition for a home and continued living in temporary accommodation while registered for housing. The council's anti-fraud squad discovered evidence of the win through social media. Initially uncooperative, the tenant eventually admitted ownership of a property after being confronted by investigators. Consequently, the tenant was removed from the housing register.
The tenant was investigated after a tip-off regarding a competition win for a home, which they failed to report to Kensington and Chelsea Council.
Kensington and Chelsea Council found evidence from social media proving the tenant's competition win, ultimately leading to the individual’s admission of owning a property.
