What this tool does

It walks you through a Right to Rent check in six short steps: where the property is, who you checked and when, which route you used (online share code, original documents, a registered Digital Verification Service Provider or the Landlord Checking Service), and whether the right to rent is time-limited. You get a follow-up date, the reason for it, and a printable record.

How the follow-up date is worked out

If the right to rent is time-limited, the follow-up check is due just before the later of the permission end date or 12 months after your check. Example: checked 1 January 2026, permission ends 1 March 2026, follow-up due just before 1 January 2027. Full explanation: Right to Rent follow-up checks.

What this record does not do

It doesn't check documents, decide anyone's immigration status or give legal advice. It's a note of the steps you took. Keep it with the evidence from the check itself, such as the saved online result or copies of documents.

How to keep your record

Print it or save it as a PDF, and keep it for the tenancy plus at least one year. Add the calendar file so you don't miss the follow-up. See what to keep and for how long.

Common questions

What does the process log record?

Where the property is, how many adults you checked, the date and route of the check (online share code, original documents, a registered DVSP or the Landlord Checking Service), any time limit and end date, and your own notes. It then works out the follow-up date.

Is my information uploaded anywhere?

No. The log runs entirely in your browser. Your progress is saved on your own device so you can come back to it, and Start again clears it.

Can I print the record?

Yes. The last step creates a one-page A4 record you can print or save as a PDF, plus a calendar file for the follow-up date.

Is the record proof that the tenant has the right to rent?

No. It's a note of what you did. Keep it with the evidence from the check itself, such as the saved online result or copies of documents.
