Sometimes tenants leave their properties without telling us they are going.  This means that we can have an empty property that we are unaware of that we could let to someone on our waiting list that needs a home to live in.  Such properties can attract vandalism or squatters.

Very often neighbours are the first to know and call us so we can investigate.

If the tenant is not there, we can take action to regain possession of the property and let it to someone else.  We will investigate all reports of abandonment within one working day of receiving the information.

You can report any property you suspect of being abandoned to the Tenancy Services Team or by telephoning FREEPHONE 0800 9520193

You can speak to someone in confidence in office hours or leave a message out of office hours.
