Tenants sells rental property

A tenant managed to sell his landlords London property for £1.4 million.

The tenant, Steven Rice successfully sold his Kensington rental property and was only finally caught when he attempted to transfer the sale funds into a Dubai bank account.

Rice used fake identities and falsified documents to take on the identity of his 83-year-old landlord Vernon Stratton.

Rice had also fraudulently rented a second house in Kensington and managed to obtain a £489,235 loan on the rental property but fortunately the money transfer was stopped just before completion.

Rice had also tried to a similar fraud on a £4 million rental property in Knightsbridge.

Good grief is this another worry to keep landlords awake at night.
