Identity Theft

Identity theft related to apartment and home leases is a serious issue that often requires professional investigation to uncover fraudulent activity and hold perpetrators accountable. At Insite Investigations, we specialize in working with attorneys, landlords, and property management companies to expose fraudulent lease agreements, identify bad actors, and assist in recovering financial losses. Our team conducts deep background checks, surveillance, and asset investigations to track individuals using stolen identities to secure housing. These cases often involve criminals who exploit stolen Social Security numbers, falsified credit histories, or fraudulent pay stubs to pass tenant screenings, leaving victims to deal with financial ruin, damaged credit, and potential legal repercussions.

Insite Investigations collaborates closely with the FBI and local law enforcement agencies to dismantle complex identity theft rings that use fraudulent leases for larger criminal enterprises. These schemes can involve subletting to unauthorized tenants, operating scams from rented properties, or even using these locations for illegal activities. Our experience in surveillance and counter-surveillance allows us to monitor suspect behavior, track fraudulent tenants, and provide law enforcement with crucial evidence to build cases against offenders. We also assist landlords in preventing these incidents by verifying applicant information, cross-checking employment records, and ensuring that all documents provided are legitimate.

By leveraging investigative expertise, undercover operations, and legal partnerships, Insite Investigations helps mitigate the risks of lease fraud for property owners while protecting the identities of innocent victims. Our proactive approach ensures that fraudulent tenants are exposed before they can cause long-term financial and legal damage. Whether tracking down bad actors or working with federal and local authorities to prosecute offenders, we remain committed to securing the integrity of housing transactions and protecting our clients from identity theft-related fraud.
