If a tenant carries out a mutual exchange without our permission, then they will no longer be a secure tenant and we may take legal action to recover the property.
In circumstances where tenants have swapped properties without our formal consent, both tenants will be in the serious position of:
- having no legal interest in the tenancy at the property they have moved to
- being liable for the rent and other obligations of their original tenancy
- losing their home and security of tenure as they are no longer occupying the property as their main or principal home
