TJC1 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Why should they? Is a hotel obliged to check ID (they're not). What level of checks can a landlord with 1 or 2 properties be reasonably expected to carry out? See a passport, sure, but they aren't an expert in verifying that's genuine. Personally I always ran credit and reference checks on my tenants, presumably asylum seekers would have failed, I didn't do anything specifically to check that the tenants had the right to be in the UK. ---------- Post added 03-08-2015 at 11:37 ---------- Making a profit is of course the legitimate aim of pretty much all landlords. You dont think landlords who break the law should be punished ? ---------- Post added 03-08-2015 at 11:51 ---------- Profit can be legitimate but not at the expense of safety. ---------- Post added 03-08-2015 at 11:56 ---------- The truth is many landlords dont do proper checks. ---------- Post added 03-08-2015 at 11:58 ---------- Proper checks will show a tenant has references, a credit history, an employment history and right to live and work in uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Why should they?To help circumscribe and restrict this 'black economy' into which illegals vanish within the UK. Is a hotel obliged to check ID (they're not).But they do after a fashion, when they require you to leave a CC print when checking in. Can't see many illegal holding a CC, somehow.

L00b Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 You aren't required to do that, it's optional.Hotels aren't required to uphold your reservation and accommodate you either, if you choose to opt out of their T&Cs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
