Episode 6 (2x6)

Air date: May 30, 2016

Michelle reveals how one tenant used four identities and two social housing flats to rake in more than £300,000 in unlawful profits. Cameras follow bailiffs and locksmiths as they seize back a one-bedroom flat in central London, which the tenant has been renting out from behind bars. Meanwhile, housing officers track down a tenant living it up in Lagos, Nigeria, and using her valuable social housing property as a holiday flat for friends and relatives. Officers serve the tenant with a Notice to Quit while she celebrates a family wedding in the Caribbean. In Oxford, Michelle reveals how CCTV cameras capture a rogue tenant red-handed as he moves furniture back into his flat to make it look as if he still lives there.
