New rules coming into force on the 1st July 2021 mean the way landlords check their tenants right to rent are changing.

Stuart Nash of Stuarts Residential, a local property management agent, commented:

"These changes are as a result of Brexit and mainly affect people coming from the European Union or European Economic Area. However it is important that landlords are fully up to date with their obligations to check their tenants immigration status.

"We have published some guidance on this which you can see on our website at https://www.stuartsresidential.com/do-your-tenants-have-a-right-to-rent/".

That site explains how the requirement to comply with the right to rent checks are for all occupiers regardless of their nationality.
