Home Office consults on Right to Rent anti-discrimination rules, closing 29 April
The Home Office has opened a consultation on changes to the Right to Rent code of practice. Under the proposals, landlords and letting agents could not treat tenants less favourably for using paper documents rather than the digital checking service, or because they have time-limited right to rent. The consultation closes at midnight on 29 April. For renters, it's a small tightening of discrimination rules rather than a headline change.
