Right to rent checks
Private landlords and agents are legally required to check the immigration status of all tenants AND any other adults who will be living in the property. You will be asked to provide documents to show you have the right to live in the UK, either permanently or temporarily.
At this stage, please let us know which one will apply to you:
- you're a British or Irish citizen,
- you have indefinite leave to remain (ILR),
- you have settled or pre-settled status under the EU settlement scheme,
- you have permission to be in the UK, for example, on a work or student visa,
- you have refugee status or humanitarian protection,
- the Home Office has granted you a time limited right to rent,
- If you're fleeing war in Ukraine, you have the right to rent as long as you have permission from the Home Office to stay in the UK.
