New Digital Verification Rules for Right to Rent Checks Announced
The government has announced that from 1 October, landlords who choose to carry out Right to Rent checks electronically will be required to use a registered digital verification provider. This follows the introduction of secondary legislation this week.
The new rules make it mandatory for landlords opting for electronic Right to Rent checks to use a provider registered as a Right to Rent Digital Verification Service Provider (RtR DVSP). The announcement was reported by Property118.
Letting agents and inventory clerks involved in the Right to Rent process should be aware of these changes, as compliance with the new digital verification requirements will be necessary for electronic checks from October onwards.
