Conduct initial right to rent checks Establish the adults who will live in the property as their only or main home; Obtain original versions of one or more of the acceptable documents for adult occupiers; Check the documents in the presence of the holder of the documents; and Make copies of the documents and retain them with a record of the date on which the check is made

30 Documents establishing a continuous statutory excuse

31 Documents establishing a continuous statutory excuse

32 Documents establishing a time-limited statutory excuse

33 Right to Rent: Civil Penalties and Establishing a Statutory Excuse 2. Conduct follow-up checks at the appropriate date if initial checks indicate that an occupier has a time-limited right to rent 3. Make a report to the Home Office if follow-up checks indicate that an occupier no longer has the right to rent Landlord must make the report as soon as reasonably practicable after discovering that the occupier no longer has a right to rent, and before their existing time-limited statutory excuse expires, in order to renew their statutory excuse which will last for as long as the illegal renter continues to occupy the premises Report must be made in writing and contain the following: Full name of the occupier believed to have no right to rent Address of the premises they are occupying Name and contact address of the landlord Where relevant, the name and contact address of the agent Date on which the occupier first took up occupation Copies of the documents kept by the landlord when undertaking the initial right to rent checks in respect of the occupier
