The government has issued new Right To Rent guidance for landlords.
It makes only minor modifications to previous versions but the latest 80 page document advises a landlord, letting agent or homeowner how to conduct a right to rent check when letting privately rented accommodation.
As before, the guidance sets out the specific actions they can take to prevent liability for a civil penalty.
This is called establishing a statutory excuse against liability for a penalty.
This guidance applies to residential tenancy agreements granted on property located in England.
The Right to Rent Scheme applies only to residential tenancy agreements first entered into on or after December 1 2014 in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall, and on February 1 2016 in the rest of England.
You can see the new guidance here.
