Letting Agents Offer Advice to Landlords on Right to Rent Legislation


The Right to Rent Legislation officially took effect on February 1st 2016 for all landlords in England. This means that landlords and letting agents in the area need to conduct checks in relation to renewal of tenancy agreements. Hancock Lettings and Estate Agents is ready to provide assistance to landlords in Chichester and the surrounding areas in this matter. Contact us on 01243 531155 and ask for Samantha Flint, the associate partner at our agency for advice on Right to Rent. According to the Right to Rent Legislation, landlords and Chichester letting agents will need to check the immigration status of prospective tenants before the tenancy commences. This is not only for shorthold tenancies, rather it applies to all residential tenancies with some limited exemptions for halls of residence, social housing etc.
