Right to Rent digital checks now require registered providers

From 1 October 2026, all Right to Rent digital checks must be carried out through a registered Digital Verification Service Provider. Checks by non-registered providers no longer offer statutory defence against civil penalties. Fines up to £20,000 per property occupier apply for failing proper checks.
