UK immigration: new Landlord checks introduced ====================================== A new immigration check of prospective tenants in the UK is being trialled in the West Midlands, and if successful will be rolled out across the rest of Britain. From 1st December, landlords under the pilot scheme will be required to check the legal immigration status of potential new tenants, before renting out property. This is to ensure that tenants are legally in the UK. If landlords fail to undertake these checks then they could end up with a fine of up to £3000 fine, as laid out in new changes to the Immigration Act. The National Landlords Association (NLA) have suggested that these checks should be carried out anyway, regardless of this new pilot scheme.
