{{refimprove|date=September 2015}}A contrived tenancy is a term used in British housing law to describe a situation where a tenancy is created in order to take advantage of the housing benefit system.[1] Contrived tenancies can occur where a family member 'rents' to a family member but on a non-commercial basis. Contrived tenancies also exist if a landlord only asks for rent when a tenant is not working and so entitled to Housing Benefit but not when a tenant is working.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://scotland.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/advice_topics/paying_for_a_home/housing_benefit/housing_benefit_if_you_rent_from_a_family_member |title=Housing benefit if you rent from a family member - Shelter Scotland |publisher=Scotland.shelter.org.uk |date=2015-06-02 |accessdate=2015-09-13}}
