How Airbnb is helping the UK catch housing fraudsters

  • Airbnb will share data with the UK government to tackle social housing fraud.
  • More than 470 suspected cases have already been identified during the pilot.
  • Offenders could face eviction, fines and up to two years in prison.

Social housing fraud is set to face closer scrutiny after the UK government and Airbnb launched a new data-sharing partnership aimed at identifying tenants illegally subletting publicly funded homes on short-term rental platforms.

The agreement, led by the Public Sector Fraud Authority within the Cabinet Office, is the first arrangement of its kind between the government and a short-term rental platform.
