IMMIGRATION

Chapter 1 of Part 3 of the Immigration Act 2014 (“the Act”) provides a statutory excuse for landlords and their agents from being required to pay a civil penalty when the landlords or agents conduct prescribed identity checks on prospective occupiers and those occupiers who are renewing their tenancy agreements. This Order sets out the prescribed requirements for the prescribed identity checks which must be complied with by landlords when entering into a residential tenancy agreement. This Order also brings the statutory Codes of Practice into force.
