Tenant tracing explained
No Find, No Fee tenant tracing
Find UK People® specialises in fast, accurate ex-tenant tracing for landlords, typically locating former tenants within 7 days. While many tracing agents rely on outdated systems that can take up to 12 weeks, our approach combines expert investigators with live data from UK credit reference agencies and other trusted sources.
This allows us to provide quicker, more reliable results without compromising on accuracy. Once we receive the ex-tenant’s name and last known address, our team uses advanced algorithms to analyse credit agency data, cross-referencing it with regularly updated alternative sources to confirm their current residential address. We also assess historical address patterns to build a clear, traceable profile.
All tracing is conducted in full compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act, and all data is handled securely and ethically. Our service is backed by our no trace, no fee guarantee and is trusted by landlords, letting agents, and property managers across the UK to recover rent, resolve disputes, or re-establish contact with former tenants.
For portfolio landlords or volume instructions, our batch tracing service provides an efficient, cost-effective solution to locate multiple gone-away tenants to their current address.

Why do landlords need to trace a tenant who has left their belongings?
💰 Helps you reconnect!
Landlords often need to trace former tenants who leave belongings in the property to meet legal and practical obligations:
-
Legal Compliance
Landlords are required to take reasonable steps to notify the tenant before disposing of abandoned items. Tracing the ex-tenant ensures this duty is fulfilled. -
Limiting Liability
Attempting to locate the tenant protects the landlord from claims of wrongful disposal or damage to personal property. -
Minimising Disruption
Abandoned items can delay re-letting or inconvenience new tenants. Prompt contact allows the landlord to clear the property efficiently. -
Maintaining Professional Standards
Proactively notifying the ex-tenant supports good practice and helps maintain a positive reputation.
Our tenant tracing service locates the ex-tenant’s current address quickly, allowing landlords to make lawful contact and manage abandoned belongings properly.
Why does a landlord need to trace an ex tenant?
💰 Helps you recover a debt!
Ex-tenant tracing is an essential tool for UK landlords when a former tenant has disappeared without settling debts or leaving proper contact details. It supports:
-
Debt Recovery
Helps landlords locate ex-tenants to pursue unpaid rent, service charges, or damage costs through legal action. -
Legal Proceedings
Enables proper service of legal documents, such as court claims or notices relating to tenancy breaches. -
Risk Management
Provides insight into the tenant’s history, supporting future reference checks and informed letting decisions. -
Abandoned Property Handling
Allows landlords to contact former tenants regarding left-behind possessions, ensuring legal compliance.
Tracing an ex-tenant ensures landlords can enforce their rights, recover losses, and reduce the risks of repeated tenancy issues.
