Council House Crackdown

Episode 10 (2x10)

Air date: Jun 03, 2016

Michelle reveals how one tenant has been unlawfully subletting his central London flat whilst living and working in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, another council tenant, who was working as a psychic medium, didn't see it coming when housing investigators turned up at his flat unannounced and discovered it was undergoing major renovation work. He was planning to buy the flat at a knock-down price, under the Right to Buy scheme, even though he wasn't actually living there. And in Oxford, a council tenant was unlawfully subletting his property whilst on a five-month holiday visiting his girlfriend in Thailand. He inadvertently shopped himself by complaining to the council when the people renting from him didn't pay the full amount.
