Article summary

The Home Office has updated its landlord right to rent checks guidance. It confirms that from 6 April 2022, landlords will no longer be able to carry out a manual right to rent check on those who hold a biometric residence permit, biometric residence card or a frontier worker permit (biometric card holders). Landlords must carry out an online right to rent check from this date.
