Right to Rent requires lettings agents in England to check that all tenants who occupy their properties have legal status to live in the UK. This means that before you can rent a home in England, a letting agent must undertake ID checks prior to letting out the property.
Digital ID verification offers significant advantages, such as enhanced safety and consistent accuracy, resulting in decreased fraud risk. Additionally, it provides a faster and more convenient way to conduct Right to Rent checks. Up until now, the process of checking someone’s Right to Rent status has been mostly manual, involving laborious and time-consuming processes. It also relies on business owners and landlords being able to detect fraudulent documents, which is a heavy burden of responsibility and something even a trained eye finds difficult to get right every time.
Government legislation requires that landlords and letting agents verify potential tenants legal right to rent in England. Right to Rent checks apply to all tenants / lodgers aged 18 and over, even if they’re not named on the tenancy agreement or there’s no tenancy agreement in place / in writing.
