As an accommodation provider, Safe Haven Sussex has a duty to ensure prospective residents have the right to rent in the UK. One of the relevent documents will be required before the referral can be processed.
- a passport
- a travel document issued by the Home Office
- an immigration status document sent to you when you were given permission to stay in the UK
Your passport, travel document or immigration status document needs to have a Home Office endorsement in it - for example, a stamp or a vignette (a sticker).
This must say that you have one of the following:
- indefinite leave to enter or indefinite leave to remain in the UK
- no time limit to your stay in the UK
- a certificate of entitlement to the right of abode
- exemption from immigration control
- limited leave to enter or limited leave to remain in the UK, or permission to stay for a time limited period - this must cover the time you’ll be renting
- a certificate of entitlement to readmission to the UK
You can no longer use a physical biometric residence permit or card to prove your right to rent - you’ll need to get a share code instead.
If you cannot provide one of the above documents please contact the referrals officer who will be able to provide you with further instructions: Referrals@safehavensussex.org.uk
