Right to Rent Problems

About Right to Rent Problems

Right to rent rules require landlords in England to check that tenants have status to live in the UK. Problems show up as failed checks, refused tenancies, or civil penalty action against landlords. For tenants the impact can be severe, especially where families are involved. The right response usually combines a careful look at the underlying immigration status, eVisa or share code, and a clear conversation with the landlord. RakLAW acts for both sides, protecting homes and helping landlords stay on the right side of the rules.
