Right to Rent: England-wide rollout
With effect from 1 February 2016, all private landlords in England will have to check new tenants have the right to be in the UK before renting out their property.
A survey of over 1,500 landlords, carried out by the Residential Landlords Association (RLA), found that over 90 per cent of landlords have received no information from the UK government on the new legal requirement to check the immigration status of their tenants.
They also found that 72 per cent of landlords surveyed did not understand their obligations under the new 'right to rent' policy.
