Housing investigators catch out a married man who pretends to be single so that he can keep his housing association flat for his teenage son, and a convicted criminal who has been lining his pockets by subletting his social housing property whilst serving time behind bars.
In the West Midlands, investigators reveal how a woman who owned two properties claimed she and her children were homeless in order to get a council house in upmarket Solihull. She was considered a high priority and was allocated a substantial three-bedroom council house. But a tip-off from a member of the public raises suspicions and her story begins to unravel. The rogue tenant is evicted and her property empire collapses.
