Nearly half of landlords are less likely to rent homes to
tenants without a British passport as a result of the immigration tests they
have to make. This means that for the seventeen per cent of British citizens
who don’t own a passport, many of whom are likely to be some of the poorest in
society who cannot afford one, it is now more difficult to access private
rented housing. It is also likely that amongst those seeking rented
accommodation the proportion without passports is likely to be higher. Read
