The law requires that landlords must check that all of their tenants can legally rent a residential property in England.
British and Irish Citizens:
Before the landlord is able to sign the tenancy agreement; we, by law, have to carry out “Right to Rent” checks on UK and Irish citizens.  If you have a UK or Irish passport, you will be sent a link to HooYu to carry out this check virtually. If you are a UK or Irish national but do not have a passport, we will be in contact with specific dates that you will need to come and meet us with your right to rent documents.
International Citizens:
If you are an international student, your right to rent check has to be carried out within 28 days of your tenancy starting.  Within 90 days of the tenancy start date you will be emailed asking you to provide a share code for your visa from the government website.  We will then use this share code within 28 days of your tenancy starting to check your Right to Rent status, we input the code into the government website and we get sent a PDF confirming your visa status.  We will then check this PDF with you in person at key collection.’
