Coronavirus: Landlord Right to Rent Checks

Right to rent checks have been temporarily adjusted due to coronavirus (COVID-19) to make it easier for landlords to carry them out.

As of 30 March 2020 the following temporary changes have been made:

* Checks can now be carried out over video calls

* Tenants can send scanned documents or a photo of documents for checks using email or a mobile app, rather than sending originals

* Landlords should use the Landlords Checking Service if a prospective or existing tenant cannot provide any of the existing documents
