Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) analysis of the
English Housing Survey has revealed that approximately 2.6 million adults moved
into and within the private rented sector in 2013-14. CIH said the number of
people who will be subject to the new checks each year could easily be double
that figure, based on a conservative estimate that each letting will involve
two households being checked. CIH is warning that, faced with the potential
scale of the task and the threat of a fine or even a jail sentence for failing
to carry out the checks, landlords may simply discriminate against anyone they
believe isn’t British, even if they have a legal right to live in the UK. Read
more on the CIH website.
