Landlords that knowingly rent out property to people who
have no right to rent in the UK could be sent to prison. In her speech to the
Conservative Party Conference Home Secretary, Amber Rudd MP announced that from
December landlords ignoring the Right to Rent rules brought in this February
will be committing a criminal offence and could be jailed. She said the party is
committed to reducing net migration to sustainable levels of ‘tens of
thousands, not hundreds of thousands’. She also announced a £140m Controlling
Migration Fund to ease the pressures on public services in areas of high
migration – and to fund enforcement operations against criminal landlords. Read
