UK Right to Rent: Advanced

Regulatory compliance - Property & Real Estate
What the person who owns Right to Rent at firm level needs to run it

This course gives the people who own Right to Rent at firm level - compliance officers, MLROs, heads of operations, directors and DPOs - the framework to design, run and defend an agency-wide Right to Rent regime under the Immigration Act 2014 in England.

You'll learn how to build a Right to Rent policy that survives staff turnover, run an audit and assurance framework, respond to a civil penalty notice using the statutory excuse, manage the line between a civil breach and the criminal offence, and embed the discrimination Code of Practice across the firm. By the end, you'll be able to own the agency's whole Right to Rent position and engage correctly with the Home Office and immigration enforcement.
