Q&A with Nicola Evans L&Q

Nikki Bowker of Devonshires recently sat down with Nicola Evans who kindly agreed to answer some questions around L&Q’s first tenancy fraud prosecution, following the conviction of former resident Mr Nosa Ogie, who was sentenced on 31 March 2025 to five concurrent two-year suspended sentences for attempting to purchase his L&Q-managed social home through fraudulent means. He was also ordered to complete 120 hours of unpaid work and pay £2,800 in legal costs. Nicola and her team are keen to share their experience of private prosecution, as well as their wider tenancy fraud work, for the benefit of the social housing sector and other housing associations.
