Right To Rent Code Criticised for Complexity by Propertymark

The organisation stated that while it believes discrimination has no place in the private rented sector, the current code's complexity is a concern. This issue is relevant for UK letting agents and inventory clerks who must comply with Right To Rent requirements.
