Did you know that as a landlord, you could be fined or even face a five-year sentence for renting your property to someone that is not eligible to rent in the UK?

If you do not want to end up paying huge sums in fines or facing a jail sentence, thoroughly check the eligibility of all your prospective tenants and make sure their documents are in accordance with the law. Verify that they have no expired leave, they have the right to stay in the country, and their documents are not forged.

Conducting extensive checks before signing a tenancy agreement can minimize and save you from future repercussions.
