Right to rent checks are a vital step in the verification process, necessary before landlords can let their property to new tenants.
Landlords in England are legally required to check the identity of all adults over the age of 18, make copies of the accepted original document and record the checks. They must also conduct follow up checks when necessary.
A number of changes were introduced on 6 April 2022 to right to rent check requirements. These include:
During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, temporary measures were introduced to protect individuals but still ensure businesses could run to the best of their ability under the challenging circumstances.
Measures were implemented for landlords to continue right to rent checks from 30 March 2020 and the Government recently announced that these will stay in place until 30 September 2022.
These include:
Although most Covid-19 measures have been relaxed, the Government made the decision to keep these in place for longer to give individuals time to familiarise themselves with the new online systems.
This only applies in England. Landlords do not need to check a tenant’s right to rent property in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.
