Background
Despite a recent High Court ruling that Right to Rent regulations breach human rights, landlords are still obligated to carry them out. The course provides an overview of UK immigration law and the potential impact of Brexit. It explains the Right to Rent checks in detail to ensure you understand the process to avoid enforcement action. The criminal penalties have caused consternation but this course will provide you with the knowledge and understanding to perform right to rent checks and stay on the right side of the law.
