How do landlords do Right to Rent checks?

How do landlords do Right to Rent checks? Before you enter into a tenancy in England, check that every adult who will live there can legally rent. A time-limited right needs a follow-up check, timed under the code in force since 1 October 2026. Yes. You must check every adult who will live in the property as their main home, including British and Irish citizens. GOV.UK says it is against the law to check only people you think are not British. For someone with an unlimited right to rent, any time before the tenancy is agreed. For someone with a time-limited right to rent, no earlier than 28 calendar days before the tenancy starts. If a tenant is abroad and cannot be checked beforehand, the code allows the check before they move in. Not as a document in a manual check. GOV.UK says to ask the tenant for a share code instead and check it through the Home Office online service. Anyone with an eVisa must be checked that way.
