How do occupancy reports work?
If you are a landlord or letting agency and are concerned about who is occupying your property, Arkline Legal Services can help. With over 50 experienced field agents, we can attend the property in question and establish occupancy by either speaking directly with the occupant or a neighbour. If the occupant is a tenant and cooperative, we can ask for details of the lease and any further information you wish to obtain.
Occupancy reports are essential for:
- Checking to see if your tenant is subletting without your permission.
- Ensuring that everyone who is living in the property has had right to rent checks conducted.
- Protect you against claims that you are allowing your property to become overcrowded.
- Discovering if someone in the property is causing damage or distress to the neighbours following a complaint.
Although our team is regularly involved in large volume occupancy report projects for letting agencies, we are routinely instructed to report on an individual or a small number of people. No matter how big or small your project is, you will receive scrupulous, personal, and dedicated service.

Case Study
We were contacted by a landlord who lived overseas and discovered his tenant had ceased to pay rent.
The tenant provided various sad stories about his state of affairs and at first, the landlord was understanding. However, he began to receive complaints from neighbours about parties and rowdy behaviour which did not match the behaviour of his tenant in the past.
We were instructed by the landlord’s solicitors to attend the address and establish the situation. It transpired that the original tenant had sublet the property to others and had pocketed the rent payments. Having received our report, the landlord began proceedings to evict the current tenants and recover monies from the original tenant whom we had traced to a new address.
