From 1 February 2016, all private landlords in England have to make Right to Rent checks. This means checking that tenants have the right to be in the UK. You need to make right to rent checks if you:

• are a private landlord
• have a lodger
• are sub-letting a property
• are an agent appointed by a landlord to make right to rent checks
