Code of practice on illegal immigrants and private rented accommodation
Section 23 of the Immigration Act 2014 allows the Secretary of State to serve a landlord with a notice requiring the payment of a penalty of a specified amount where they have let property to an unqualified person in a private tenancy. Remember, the Home Office will expect you to comply with Code of Practice on illegal immigrants and private rented accommodation. You must therefore have systems in place to ensure you don’t breach the code. Don’t get caught out! The Home Office can visit your property at any time to check you are complying.
