List B Documents
If a prospective tenant can produce one document from this group, then a time-limited statutory excuse will be established for the following eligibility period (whichever is longest):
- one year, beginning with the date on which the checks were last made.
- until the period of the person’s immigration permission in the UK expires.
- until the expiry of the validity of the Home Office issued immigration document which evidences their right to be in the UK.
A further check can take place at any time, such as when a tenant tells you that they have extended their immigration permission.
To maintain a statutory excuse against a penalty, you will need to conduct a follow-up check before the end of the above eligibility period.
