: Follow-up rule corrected and October 2026 guidance adopted

Our calculator now applies the full GOV.UK rule: a follow-up check is due just before the later of the permission end date or 12 months after the previous check. After a Positive Right to Rent Notice, it's 12 months after the date on the notice. We reviewed the Home Office Landlords' Guide and Code of Practice dated 1 October 2026 and added the registered Digital Verification Service Provider (DVSP) route.
