Landlords – Tenant Immigration Checks

The law is constantly changing so that UK society is actively part of the government’s drive to tackle illegal immigrants living in the UK.

 

Duncan Lewis UK Immigration Solicitors 
UK Landlords - Tenant Immigration Checks - Fixed Fee

 

Landlords who fail to conduct the necessary checks on potential tenants face a fine of up to £10000. 

 

You must check that a tenant or lodger can legally rent your residential property in England.

 

Check with the Home Office if the tenant is a Commonwealth citizen but does not have the right documents - they might still have the right to rent in the UK.

 

Before the start of a new tenancy, you must check all tenants aged 18 and over, even if:

 

  • they’re not named on the tenancy agreement
  • there’s no tenancy agreement
  • the tenancy agreement is not in writing
     

 

Our team of immigration solicitors at Duncan Lewis can assist with determining whether or not your potential tenant is permitted to reside in the UK. You will get written confirmation, which will protect you against any queries the UK government may have if they inspect you and your tenants.
