If the applicant is not a British or Irish national and they do not have an eVisa, Biometric Residence Card, Biometric Residence Permit or Frontier Work Permit you will need to carry out a manual check on the their documents in order to confirm their right to rent.

As a last resort, if the applicant cannot provide the required acceptable documents, you must use the Home Office Landlord Checking Service to confirm their right to rent and establish a statutory excuse. You should delay entering into a tenancy agreement until you have received a response from the Landlord Checking Service.
