Right to Rent follow-up
Only show the time-limited follow-up controls when they are actually relevant.
Tenant checks
Keep tenant checks connected to the tenancy they belong to.
Arrange Tenant Verification through The Lettings Hub or record your own checks. Right to Rent status and follow-up dates stay with the tenancy rather than disappearing into a separate email trail.
What this lets you do
Complete the job and keep the useful record behind it.
Landlord Buddy is designed around the practical workflow rather than making the landlord maintain another disconnected checklist.
- Tenant Verification available at £30 per adult.
- Provider outcomes can populate the journey rather than being re-keyed.
- Time-limited Right to Rent reveals the follow-up date and relevant actions only when needed.
- The application outcome and key checks form part of the tenancy audit trail.

What stays on the record
The task finishes. The history remains.
The exact record depends on the route taken, but this area is designed to leave the relevant dates, decisions and documents attached to the tenancy.
- Referencing route selected
- Reference outcome
- Right to Rent status
- Follow-up date for time-limited status
- Application close-out reason where relevant
Relevant rules & official sources
Keep the legal detail available without making it the whole page.
The summaries below explain why the workflow exists. Landlord Buddy helps organise the process and evidence; the official source remains the authority.
Immigration Act 2014 — Right to Rent schemeAdult occupiers must be checked before the tenancy starts.
For residential property in England, landlords must check the Right to Rent of tenants aged 18 or over before the tenancy begins. Time-limited rights can require a later follow-up check.
How Landlord Buddy helps: The status and follow-up date sit against the tenancy, so a future check is not dependent on somebody finding an old referencing email.
GOV.UK: checking a tenant’s Right to Rent ↗Tenant Fees Act 2019A failed Right to Rent check can affect the holding-deposit outcome.
The statutory holding-deposit rules include limited circumstances in which a holding deposit may be retained, including certain Right to Rent failures. The facts and statutory conditions still need to be considered.
How Landlord Buddy helps: Keeping the referencing outcome beside the holding-deposit workflow gives the landlord a clearer record of why an application ended and what happened next.
