There is a generous list of documents available that tenants can provide to prove their right to rent. Codes of practice required under right-to-rent legislation set out what landlords are expected to do and how they can avoid unlawful discrimination. We have made it easier to carry out checks digitally and this simplifies the requirement for landlords or letting agents to understand the types of documents that renters have. I simply add that there are no current plans to end the right-to-rent scheme. I am happy to discuss that further with my noble friend but, for these reasons, I would ask that she withdraw this amendment.
