The UK government announced the first phase of the pilot project on the verification of the immigration status of potential tenants, which will be launched in December 2014 in the Western Midlane.
According to the rules, a landlord that does not check the right of the tenant to reside in the UK will be subject to a fine of £3,000. In the first stage, a rule will be introduced in the city of Birmingham, Walsal, Sandwell, Dudley and Wolverhampton.
The verification process is not difficult, but it’ll solve a lot of problems associated with the presence on the territory of the country of illegal migrants.
Innovations will also be directed against unscrupulous landlords who rent out substandard, overcrowded and unsafe housing.

Under the new rules, the landlord at the conclusion of the lease agreement shall be personally verify that the potential tenant of the identification document and indicating citizenship such as a passport or biometric residence permit.
Many responsible landlords already do this in the normal way and the majority of landlords will already have copies of the relevant documents at hand for that moment when the new rules will come into force. Copies of the documents submitted must be retained by the lessor within 1 year after the end of the lease.
The British Agents Association of Residential property will operate the workshops, which will be carried out explanatory work on application of the new rules. The project is in a region of the UK will reveal the application of the law deficiencies and correct them before launching the scheme throughout the country. After testing the project in one region, it is expected to be introduced in others in the next year.
An act to amend the migration regulations were introduced in 2014 in order to ensure the migration regulation national interests.
