Right to rent (tenant applicants in England only)

From 1st February 2016, landlords and letting agents in England are required to check the immigration status of all adult tenants before they agree to enter into a tenancy agreement. This is to establish you have a ‘right to rent’ legally in the UK. We will contact you to arrange a suitable time and location to perform this check.

A tenancy agreement cannot be granted if all adult occupiers cannot prove they have a right to rent in the UK. To establish whether you have permanent right to rent we will need you to provide sufficient documents from List A (if you have permanent right to rent), List B (if you have a temporary right to rent in the UK), or a sharecode from https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-rent.

Further information on supporting documents and proving your right to rent status is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/right-to-rent-document-checks-a-user-guide.

By ticking the checkbox below and submitting this application, I confirm that all information provided by me in this application is true, accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge.

I understand that if I provide false, misleading, incomplete or materially inaccurate information, or fail to disclose relevant information which may reasonably affect the Landlord/Agent’s decision to grant a tenancy, my application may be refused and any holding deposit paid may be retained where permitted by law.

I authorise the Landlord/Agent, and any appointed referencing provider acting on their behalf, to carry out all reasonable checks required in connection with this application. This may include identity checks, Right to Rent checks, full tenant referencing, affordability checks, employment checks, landlord references, accountant references, bank/building society references, local authority references where applicable, personal references and any other reasonable enquiries necessary to assess my suitability for the proposed tenancy.

I give my consent for full tenant referencing and affordability checks to be carried out in relation to me, including a soft credit check. I understand that a soft credit check may be used to verify my identity and review relevant public credit information, such as County Court Judgments, insolvency records, electoral roll information or similar public register information. I understand that a soft credit check does not affect my credit score.

I authorise my employer, accountant, bank or building society, current or previous landlord, local authority, personal referee, guarantor and any other relevant third party named in this application to provide information reasonably required in connection with this application, including information relating to my employment, income, financial position, previous tenancy history, conduct and suitability.

I understand that my personal information may be shared with the Landlord, referencing providers, credit reference agencies, guarantors where applicable, deposit protection providers, utility providers, local authorities, contractors, legal advisers and any other relevant third party where reasonably necessary for the purposes of assessing this application, carrying out legal and referencing checks, preparing tenancy documentation, managing the proposed tenancy, protecting the Landlord/Agent’s legitimate interests and complying with legal obligations.

I understand that payment of a holding deposit does not guarantee that a tenancy will be granted. The tenancy remains subject to satisfactory referencing, Right to Rent checks, landlord approval, receipt of all required information and documents, cleared permitted funds and completion of the tenancy agreement.

I understand that a holding deposit must not exceed one week’s rent and may only be retained in limited circumstances permitted by law.

I understand that the holding deposit may be retained where permitted by law if I, or any relevant person including any guarantor, withdraw from the application, fail a Right to Rent check, provide false or misleading information which reasonably affects the decision to grant the tenancy, fail to provide requested information or documents within a reasonable time, or fail to take reasonable steps to enter into the tenancy agreement and/or Deed of Guarantee within 15 calendar days, or any other deadline for agreement mutually agreed in writing.

I understand that rent cannot be requested, encouraged or accepted before the tenancy agreement has been signed by all parties. If the tenancy proceeds, the holding deposit may be used towards the first month’s rent or tenancy deposit once permitted and once the required tenancy documentation has been completed.

I understand that the Landlord/Agent will assess my application fairly and in accordance with current letting legislation, including the Renters’ Rights Act 2025, and that applications will not be rejected because an applicant has children or receives benefits.

I confirm that I have read, understood and agree to this declaration, applicant consent, tenant referencing consent, soft credit check consent, data sharing notice and holding deposit terms.
