***** THIS EMAIL WAS SENT VIA THE INTERNET ***** Does the other Housing Association not have the duty to disclose as it is their property...and is there not some legislation in place which allows people to sue - or is that only applied in private sales and not tenancies. I would have thought that the other Housing Association wuld have had a duty to advise not to mention child protection issues.

A tenant of ours (with young children) wants to do a mutual exchange with a tenant of another landlord. During our findings, we have been informed by the police that the next door tenant ( of other landlords' tenant )is a known paedophile and is currently under observation by them. What do I do? Because such info is not in the public domain, I cannot go ahead and inform our tenant about the fact that his potential next door neighbour is a paedophile. We have a number of reasons why mutual exchanges cannot be approved, but this is one reason that is not included and that we cannot pass on. I need to give a reason why this mutual exgange cannot go ahead. Any ideas? Would be able to say something along the lines of "There is a known paedophile in the area....", and hope that scares our tenant from continuing with the exchange.
