Council House Crackdown: Season 2, Episode 4

2 - 4: Episode 4

Housing fraud investigators are joined by the police as they reclaim a flat which they suspect is no longer occupied by the official tenant. Their suspicions prove to be well founded. It turns out that the official tenant is nowhere to be found and the flat is now being occupied by a pop singer who hit the charts back in the 1970s. He's questioned by the police and the property is repossessed.

Michelle also reveals how one social housing tenant moved to Greece but, instead of giving the keys back, he passed the property onto his daughter in breach of his tenancy.

Meanwhile, investigators in Lambeth, south London, pay a surprise visit to one of their council flats - only to discover that the tenants who are supposed to be living there moved to Portugal nine years ago.
