Landlords in the West Midlands who fail to check whether prospective tenants are in the country legally will face a £3,000 fine, under a new rule expected to be rolled out across the UK.
So it's looking like all landlords will soon have to check whether a person is legally allowed to rent a property soon, are you prepared for this?
At 1st House Lettings our referencing will include these checks as standard, when (or if) its rolled out nationally, which I'm assuming it will be.
Make sure your letting agent knows about these checks coming soon, otherwise you may face a nasty surprise.
