Landlords concerned about rights of EU citizens to rent after Brexit

The British Government has failed to prepare the rental market for Brexit with landlord warning that European Union citizens may face problems securing a home to rent. The warning comes from the Residential Landlords Association (RLA) which says that Ministers have failed to publish any guidance for landlords about the implications of Brexit for the Right to Rent scheme. Under this scheme landlords are responsible for checking the immigration status of their tenants with the prospect of prosecution if they know or have reasonable cause to believe that the property they are letting is occupied by someone who does not have a right to rent in the UK.
