Does anyone know any way of finding out who the tennants of a privately rented property are? I know where one of them works (but am unable to get more info from that source)& roughly where they come from (birmingham area) but need to know their names....cant say why at this stage other than they are seriously worrying me as to their behaviour & suspiscions I have about them & their intentions  Would they have to register for pol tax, could i find them through the local counci do you think?

Electoral register maybe ?

on line search

They have only been in the property for 2 weeks

Do you know anybody in the police at all as they could do a search on a number plate if they have a car :)

At the end of the day if they are doing something that you think may be criminal then report it as they will never know it was you !

Is there any way you could ask your postman their names?  Maybe you could pretend that someone came around to your house asking you where they live?  :)

i wish i did know someone in the police, that would be ideal, although the car is probably nicked anyway!!! I will try & drop it into conversation when i speak to the herdsman  in a few days, see if he can tell me their names! Trouble is it looks a bit odd if you ask their surname as well as their 1st names!!

NO!! Lucy they can't do a search for them as it ilegal under the Data protection Act and Police officers are not allowed to 'do searches' for members of the public...they get into serious trouble and noawdays they have to account for each search! All the best, Dawn

Sam surely if you have concerns of any kind that makes you suspicious, then you must pass on your concerns to people who can investigate.....
Even if it is crimestoppers as you are allowed to remain anonymous.

I've made anonymous calls to the police before, although they can easily trace your phone anyway.  If I was that worried about a seriously dodgy neighbour I would phone anonymously from a public phone or phone crimestoppers.

You'll probably find if they're that dodgy the police will know about them anyway.  They cant do anything unless they commit a crime though....

Hmm, trouble is I would rather get as much info on them as poss before they do something, than wait to be a victim

You dont have to be anonymous if you dont want to be and if you choose not to be then you can deal with a named person who you could refer back to.
This could then be documented for your benefit too.
You might feel a little easier too.
