- there has been a change of the applicant’s circumstances which no longer makes them eligible for the property
- where the applicant does not respond to the offer within the timescale given by Thrive Homes
- information has been received that would indicate fraud
- the property has been incorrectly advertised
- the applicant had previously held a Thrive Homes tenancy which they failed to disclose or where a tenancy was in breach due to anti-social behaviour, rent arrears or any other reason
- there has been a history of anti-social behaviour in a previous tenancy
- the offer could place a vulnerable applicant, tenant or neighbours at risk of harm
- the property is required for emergency re-housing
- the affordability check suggests the letting of this property will result in the tenancy being unsustainable
