Right to Rent
From 1st October 2022 letting agents and landlords will no longer be able to use adjusted right to rent rules that allowed them to complete checks using video calls and document copies. However new legislation now means that agents can still digitise 75% of their right to rent checks removing this significant admin burden.
The number of fake UK and Irish ID documents in circulation have both tripled in the last 2 years, with British documents now the second most forged nationality.
