Landlords will no longer be immediately criminalised for failing to pick up an illegal tenant following a campaign which demanded changes to the Governments Right to Rent legislation. Changes to the Immigration Bill will provide some protection for landlords who have taken reasonable steps in an appropriate time span to teminate tenancies of those living in the country illegally. Previously, landlords would have faced immediate criminal sanctions, upon officials discovering that they failed to ensure their tenants had the right to rent their property.
