Landlords in the UK are not ready to control migrants

Homeowners in the UK don’t really understand how to implement control functions of the immigration status of the tenant in accordance with the new rules.

In accordance with a pilot project launched in only one region – the West Midland since December 2014 , property owners are required to check the immigration status of their tenants. In 2015, this practice will spread to all regions of the UK.

Among those owners who are already faced with new rules, 9 out of 10 believe that they impose on them too much responsibility.

Almost all landlords said they would lay the responsibility for checking the migration status of a tenant Agency, as they are not confident that you can do it yourself.

Moreover, about a quarter of homeowners think that the new rules will lead to an increase in the number of unscrupulous landlords offering tenants “a bed in the barn.” Immigrants will be harder to find housing in the end the Kingdom will increase the number of homeless people.

In fact, these rules are not so complicated. The owner who intends to rent their homes to rent, need to check a potential tenant’s passport , residence permit or other document where there is a mark Home Office ( the UK Department responsible for visa and migration) that this person has a legal status in the UK.

According to the rules, the landlord should check the immigration status of any person over the age of 18 before the conclusion of a new lease. Moreover, it is necessary to check all adults who will live in a rented house or apartment during the term of the lease, not just those with whom a contract.

In the case that someone living turns 18 during the lease term, additional testing is not required. Does not require additional verification if the lease will be extended with the same number of residents.

The Home Office may conduct individual testing individual real estate or landlords, if there is suspicion that there has been a violation of the law, or get this information from the neighbors.
