Key Takeaways

• Right to Rent share codes enable landlords in England to verify whether a prospective tenant has the legal right to rent residential property.
• Right to Rent checks are mandatory for residential tenancies in England for all adult occupiers aged 18 or over, regardless of nationality.
• Landlords who rent to a disqualified person without a statutory excuse, or who fail to follow the correct checking procedure, may be subject to enforcement action.
• Penalties include fines of up to £3,000 per occupier and potential criminal liability.

The Right to Rent share code is a digital code generated through the UK Home Office system, enabling landlords in England to verify whether a prospective tenant has the legal right to rent residential property. The share code process is the required method where a tenant’s immigration status is held in digital form rather than being evidenced through acceptable physical documents. For landlords and letting agents, correct use of a Right to Rent share code is important. Conducting the check in accordance with Home Office requirements can provide a statutory excuse against civil penalties. Failures in the checking process may expose landlords to civil penalties and, where a landlord knows or has reasonable cause to believe that a person is disqualified from renting, criminal liability may also arise. For tenants, understanding how to generate and share a valid code can help prevent delays, unsuccessful tenancy applications, or unlawful refusals. This guide provides key information about the Right to Rent share code for landlords and tenants, focusing on how the system operates in practice and where errors commonly occur, to help avoid compliance failures and unnecessary Home Office involvement.

Section A: What is a Right to Rent share code?

A Right to Rent share code is a unique, temporary code generated via an official UK Home Office online service. It enables a landlord or letting agent to verify whether an individual has the legal right to rent residential property in England. The code is issued specifically for the purpose of a Right to Rent check and is linked directly to the person’s Home Office immigration record. It is accessed through the government’s online checking system and is not considered proof of status on its own.

A share code itself does not grant the right to rent. Instead, it allows the landlord to view the Home Office confirmation of the individual’s status, including whether they have an unlimited right to rent or a time-limited one. When the online check is carried out correctly—ensuring the result matches the correct individual and that the required evidence is stored appropriately—it can provide the landlord with a statutory excuse against civil penalties.

1. What the share code proves

When a landlord enters the tenant’s share code and date of birth into the official GOV.UK Right to Rent service, the system retrieves real-time information from the Home Office. The result will confirm whether the person has an unlimited right to rent, a time-limited right to rent, or no right to rent at all. This reflects the Home Office requirement for landlords to rely on official digital systems rather than interpreting immigration documents themselves.

Although the Home Office system provides the status decision, the legal responsibility remains with the landlord. A statutory excuse is only valid if the correct service is used, the check is completed for the actual prospective occupier, and the appropriate records are retained. If these steps are followed, the landlord remains protected from civil penalties even if the tenant’s immigration status later changes.

2. Where Right to Rent applies

Right to Rent checks, including those carried out using share codes, are applicable only in England. They do not extend to residential tenancies in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, where landlords are not required to verify tenants’ immigration status.

For landlords or letting agents operating across different parts of the UK, a common risk is incorrectly applying England-only requirements elsewhere, which can lead to compliance errors and potential discrimination concerns during the tenancy process.

3. Who can use a Right to Rent share code

A Right to Rent share code can only be generated by individuals whose immigration status is held in digital form by the Home Office. This includes many non-UK nationals, particularly those under the EU Settlement Scheme and others with visas managed through the UK’s digital immigration system, reflecting the wider transition towards eVisas and online status verification.

British and Irish citizens are not issued share codes, as they confirm their right to rent through acceptable identity documents rather than the online system.

It is important not to confuse Right to Rent share codes with Right to Work share codes. Right to Work checks are used by employers and follow a separate legal framework, with different processes and compliance obligations.

It is common for landlords to believe that using a Right to Rent share code transfers responsibility to the Home Office and fully satisfies their legal obligations. However, this is a misunderstanding.

In reality, most penalties result not from issues with a tenant’s immigration status, but from errors in the landlord’s own compliance process. Typical problems include incomplete or missing records, conducting checks outside the required timeframe, or failing to carry out necessary follow-up checks when a tenant’s permission is time-limited.

A Right to Rent share code only offers protection where the landlord correctly completes every stage of the prescribed process, carries out the check at the appropriate time, and retains clear and accurate evidence of compliance.

Section B: Who needs a Right to Rent share code?

Whether a tenant requires a Right to Rent share code depends on how their immigration status is held by the Home Office, rather than their nationality. From a compliance perspective, landlords and letting agents should concentrate on whether the tenant must prove their status through original documents or via the Home Office online system using a share code.

This distinction is important, as errors in selecting the correct method—such as requesting a share code when document-based evidence is acceptable—can create compliance risks and may also raise concerns around discrimination.

1. Tenants who typically use a share code

A Right to Rent share code is generally required where a tenant’s immigration status is stored digitally with the Home Office. In such cases, the online system is the prescribed method for completing the Right to Rent check.

This typically includes EU, EEA and Swiss citizens who have status under the EU Settlement Scheme. These individuals commonly use a share code to demonstrate either settled or pre-settled status.

It also applies to non-UK nationals who hold permission under the UK’s digital immigration system, where immigration status is recorded electronically rather than evidenced by physical documents.

Tenants with time-limited permission to stay—such as those on work, study, or family visas—also fall within this category. Their Home Office record confirms both their right to rent and its expiry date. This is often referred to as limited leave to remain.

Where immigration status is held digitally, using a share code is the correct and lawful method for landlords to complete the Right to Rent check.

2. Tenants who usually do not need a share code

Some tenants are not required to use a Right to Rent share code because their eligibility is proven through acceptable physical documents rather than the online system. In these situations, landlords should carry out a document-based check in accordance with Home Office guidance.

This group includes British citizens, who can evidence their right to rent using a valid British passport or other approved documentation, as well as Irish citizens, who also have an automatic right to rent and do not need to generate a share code.

It may also include individuals with long-term residence rights who still hold valid physical immigration documents accepted for Right to Rent purposes. Depending on their circumstances, this can include evidence of Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or legacy documents such as a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP), where still valid under Home Office rules. It should be noted that BRPs are being phased out as part of the transition to digital immigration status and eVisas.

Landlords should be aware of the ongoing shift towards digital-only immigration status. Where the official guidance requires an online check, physical documentation should not be requested as an alternative.

3. Tenants without immediate proof of status

There are circumstances in which a tenant is unable to provide either a Right to Rent share code or acceptable original documents at the time the check is required. This situation most often occurs where an application, appeal, or administrative review is still pending with the Home Office.

In such cases, landlords should not automatically refuse the tenancy or draw conclusions about the individual’s immigration status. Instead, the appropriate step is to use the Home Office Landlord Checking Service, which enables the Home Office to confirm whether the person has a right to rent while their case is being considered. If the Home Office confirms eligibility, it will issue a Positive Right to Rent Notice, which provides the landlord with a statutory excuse for a specified period.

In general, asylum seekers do not have a right to rent unless the Home Office has explicitly granted permission. Any right to rent in these circumstances exists only where such permission has been formally confirmed. Where uncertainty exists, the Landlord Checking Service remains the correct and official route for verification.

When carrying out a Right to Rent check, the key consideration for landlords is the correct method of verification, rather than the tenant’s nationality. The essential question is whether the individual’s immigration status must be confirmed through the Home Office online system or whether it can be evidenced using acceptable original documents.

It is not appropriate for a landlord to require a Right to Rent share code from someone who is entitled to prove their status through physical documents, as this may give rise to unlawful discrimination. Conversely, refusing to accept a valid share code where the tenant is required to use the digital checking service also creates a compliance risk and may jeopardise the statutory excuse.

The focus should therefore remain on applying the correct verification route consistently and in line with Home Office guidance.

Section C: How tenants get a Right to Rent share code

Where a tenant’s immigration status is stored digitally, a Right to Rent share code is issued through an official GOV.UK service. This code enables landlords or letting agents to access the tenant’s Right to Rent information directly from the Home Office system at the time the check is completed.

Most issues at this stage relate not to eligibility itself, but to timing and data accuracy. Expired codes, incorrect details, or delays in generating the code can often slow down the process and put pressure on landlords to make decisions before a valid check has been completed.

1. How to generate a Right to Rent share code

Tenants generate a Right to Rent share code via the GOV.UK service used for proving immigration status to landlords. The system retrieves information from the individual’s Home Office record and confirms identity details before issuing a code.

To generate a share code, tenants typically need access to information linked to their immigration status, which may include:

• Details of the identity document associated with their digital immigration record, such as a passport
• Their date of birth
• Access to the email address or mobile number registered with their Home Office account, where additional verification is required

Once these details are successfully verified, the system produces a unique alphanumeric share code that can then be provided to the landlord or letting agent.

2. How long a Right to Rent share code lasts

A Right to Rent share code remains valid for 90 days from the date it is created. If it expires before the landlord completes the check, the tenant must generate a new code.

The expiry of the share code does not affect or change the underlying immigration status held on the Home Office record.

There is no restriction on how many share codes a tenant can generate. A new code can be created at any time, including where a previous one has expired or was not used.

3. Common issues when generating a share code

Tenants may sometimes experience difficulties when creating or using a Right to Rent share code. These issues generally do not indicate a lack of right to rent, but they can delay the verification process at the pre-tenancy stage.

Typical problems include:

• Using the incorrect GOV.UK service, for example selecting the right to work service instead of the right to rent system
• Entering personal details that do not exactly match Home Office records, such as differences in spelling, name format, or date of birth
• Losing access to the email address or mobile number linked to the Home Office account
• Attempting to use a share code that has already expired

If these issues cannot be resolved promptly, landlords should not automatically reject or delay the application. Instead, the Home Office Landlord Checking Service should be used to confirm whether the individual has a valid right to rent.

This reflects the broader transition by the Home Office away from physical immigration documents towards fully digital status confirmation, including the rollout of eVisas and online status records.

Right to Rent checks should not be left until the final stages of the letting process. If a tenant encounters difficulties generating a share code, the delay will affect all parties involved, including the landlord. This can result in having to wait while the tenant resolves the issue, restarting the process with an alternative applicant, or—more problematically—risking progression of the tenancy without correctly escalating to the Landlord Checking Service when digital verification has not been successfully completed.

Section D: How landlords and agents check a Right to Rent share code

Where a tenant’s immigration status is held digitally, landlords and letting agents in England must use the Right to Rent share code system. When the process is completed correctly, it can provide a statutory excuse against civil penalties. However, that protection depends on following the required steps accurately and retaining proper evidence of compliance.

The check must be carried out before the tenancy begins and before the occupier moves into the property. This requirement applies to all adult occupiers aged 18 or over, regardless of whether they are named on the tenancy agreement.

1. Carrying out the online Right to Rent check

To complete a compliant check, landlords or letting agents must use the official GOV.UK Right to Rent online service. The tenant provides:

• Their Right to Rent share code
• Their date of birth

Entering these details allows access to the Home Office record, which confirms whether the individual has a right to rent and whether that right is unlimited or time-limited.

Landlords should take reasonable steps to ensure that the online result relates to the individual who will occupy the property. Where a photograph is displayed, it should be checked to confirm it reasonably matches the person presenting themselves for the tenancy. While landlords are not expected to carry out specialist or forensic identity verification, obvious discrepancies should not be overlooked.

2. What makes a check compliant

A Right to Rent check is only compliant if all required steps are properly completed. In practical terms, this includes using the correct GOV.UK service, verifying that the result relates to the correct individual, and retaining a clear record of the outcome.

Failing to keep evidence of the check, or retaining records without completing the check correctly, can undermine the statutory excuse.

3. Recording and retaining evidence

Landlords and letting agents must retain evidence that each Right to Rent check has been carried out correctly. This should include:

• A copy of the online check result, saved or printed
• The date the check was completed
• Secure storage of the record for the duration of the tenancy and for at least one year after it ends

If these records cannot be produced, the Home Office may treat the check as not having been completed, even if the online service was originally used.

4. Follow-up checks for time-limited permission

Where the online check confirms a time-limited right to rent, landlords have an ongoing obligation to carry out a follow-up check before the expiry of the permission shown in the Home Office record.

This follow-up can be completed either by obtaining a new Right to Rent share code from the tenant or, where this is not possible, by using the Home Office Landlord Checking Service.

If a follow-up check is not completed on time, the statutory excuse may lapse, even if the initial check was carried out correctly.

5. When a tenant cannot provide a share code

If a tenant is unable to provide a Right to Rent share code and does not hold acceptable physical documents, landlords should not assume their status or refuse the application automatically. The appropriate step is to use the Home Office Landlord Checking Service.

Where the Home Office confirms eligibility, it will issue a Positive Right to Rent Notice. This provides a statutory excuse for a limited period, and any review or follow-up date specified in the notice should be carefully recorded and acted upon.

Further practical guidance on these situations can be found in resources covering landlord immigration checks and document-based Right to Rent verification.

The Home Office assesses not only the outcome of the Right to Rent check itself, but also whether the required supporting steps were properly completed in order for the statutory excuse to apply. This includes verifying that the individual matches the online profile, retaining a copy of the result, and recording the date on which the check was carried out.

If any of these mandatory elements are missing, the Home Office may treat the check as though it was never completed at all.

Section E: Right to Rent check outcomes and follow-up duties

Once a Right to Rent check has been completed using a share code, the Home Office online service will return a specific outcome. That result determines whether the tenancy may proceed and whether the landlord has any continuing compliance obligations. A statutory excuse depends not only on the result itself, but also on the landlord having completed the required process correctly and retained the necessary evidence.

1. Unlimited Right to Rent

An unlimited right to rent means there is no time restriction on the individual’s permission to rent residential property in England. This outcome is confirmed through the Home Office online service where the tenant’s immigration status is held digitally and commonly applies to individuals with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme.

Where an online check confirms an unlimited right to rent, no follow-up immigration checks are required during the tenancy. However, the landlord must still retain evidence of the original check for the required retention period. A further check is generally unnecessary unless a new tenancy agreement is granted.

2. Time-limited Right to Rent

A time-limited right to rent applies where the Home Office record shows that the tenant’s immigration permission is valid only for a fixed period. This commonly includes individuals with limited leave to remain, such as those on work, study, or family visa routes, as well as individuals holding pre-settled status.

Where a time-limited right to rent is confirmed, the landlord must complete a follow-up check before the expiry date shown in the Home Office record. This can usually be done by obtaining a new Right to Rent share code from the tenant or, where appropriate, by using the Home Office Landlord Checking Service.

If the required follow-up check is not completed within the required timeframe, the landlord’s statutory excuse may lapse, even if the original check was properly carried out.

3. No Right to Rent

If the online check confirms that the individual does not have a right to rent, the landlord should not grant a new tenancy. Continuing or renewing an existing tenancy in these circumstances may also create enforcement risks. Depending on the circumstances, this can lead to civil penalties and, where a landlord knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the individual is disqualified from renting, potential criminal liability may also arise. Criminal offences are separate from civil penalties and require a higher evidential standard.

Where the result appears to be incorrect, landlords should not attempt to reinterpret or disregard the Home Office outcome. Instead, the tenant should be directed to resolve the issue with the Home Office directly. A record of the result should still be retained as part of the landlord’s compliance documentation.

4. Status not confirmed or Home Office decision pending

In some situations, the online checking service may be unable to confirm the tenant’s status. This commonly occurs where an application, appeal, or administrative review remains pending with the Home Office.

In these circumstances, landlords should not refuse the tenancy solely because status cannot immediately be verified online. The correct course of action is to use the Home Office Landlord Checking Service. If the Home Office issues a Positive Right to Rent Notice, the landlord may proceed with the tenancy for the period stated in that notice and should carefully diarise any follow-up date specified.

The outcome of a Right to Rent check directly affects the level of compliance risk that follows. An unlimited right to rent generally requires no ongoing monitoring beyond record retention, whereas time-limited rights create continuing obligations for landlords to track expiry dates and complete follow-up checks on time.

By contrast, a “no right to rent” result carries significant risk if handled incorrectly. In these situations, landlords should avoid relying on tenant explanations or informal assurances about immigration status. Where the online system cannot confirm status, the appropriate and compliant step is to refer the matter immediately to the Home Office Landlord Checking Service rather than attempting to make an independent assessment.

Section F: Penalties, liability, and compliance risk for landlords

Right to Rent obligations are enforced by the Home Office and can expose landlords to significant legal and financial consequences where checks are not completed correctly. Liability does not depend on whether a landlord intended to breach the rules. Instead, the key issue is whether the landlord can demonstrate that a compliant check was carried out and that a valid statutory excuse exists.

Enforcement forms part of the wider immigration compliance framework administered by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). In practice, many Right to Rent issues emerge long after the tenancy began, often at a stage where landlords are no longer able to produce the necessary records.

1. Civil penalties for non-compliance

If a landlord allows an adult occupier to rent property without the legal right to rent and cannot establish a valid statutory excuse, the Home Office may impose a civil penalty. The maximum penalty is £3,000 per occupier.

The amount of any penalty is determined by factors set out in Home Office guidance, including whether the landlord has previous breaches and whether the prescribed checks were completed correctly. Missing, incomplete, or poorly retained records may lead the Home Office to conclude that no compliant check took place.

Although Right to Rent operates separately from illegal working enforcement, both systems follow a similar compliance model. In each case, the availability of a statutory excuse depends on strict adherence to the prescribed checking and record-keeping requirements.

2. Criminal liability for serious breaches

Criminal liability may arise where a landlord rents accommodation to a person who is disqualified from renting and the landlord knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, that the individual does not have a right to rent.

Such offences can lead to prosecution, unlimited fines, and in the most serious cases, imprisonment. In practice, criminal sanctions are generally associated with deliberate or reckless conduct rather than administrative mistakes made by landlords who have made genuine attempts to comply with the scheme.

Where serious or repeated non-compliance is suspected, landlords may also face wider scrutiny from the Home Office, including compliance visits and further investigation.

3. Managing and reducing compliance risk

Most enforcement action under the Right to Rent scheme arises from failures in process rather than from knowingly renting to individuals without lawful status. Compliance risks can be reduced significantly through consistent and well-documented procedures that follow Home Office guidance.

Effective risk management commonly includes:

• Applying Right to Rent checks consistently to all adult occupiers
• Using the correct GOV.UK online checking service where required
• Saving and dating evidence of every completed check
• Recording and monitoring follow-up dates for time-limited permissions
• Ensuring that staff and letting agents understand their compliance obligations

A structured and consistent compliance process cannot eliminate risk entirely, but it greatly reduces the likelihood of enforcement action and strengthens a landlord’s position if questions later arise regarding compliance.

Landlords often assume that penalties arise only where accommodation is provided to someone without lawful immigration status. In practice, however, the greater risk usually comes from failures in the checking process itself. This creates a much wider area of potential liability.

Even where a tenant did in fact have a lawful right to rent, penalties may still be imposed if the landlord cannot demonstrate that a compliant Right to Rent check was properly completed and recorded. The availability of a statutory excuse depends on evidence of compliance, not simply on the tenant’s underlying immigration position.

Section G: Avoiding discrimination during Right to Rent checks

Right to Rent obligations operate alongside equality law. Although landlords and letting agents in England are required to carry out immigration status checks, the manner in which those checks are conducted is just as important as carrying them out in the first place. Selective or inconsistent checking practices can expose landlords to discrimination claims, even where the immigration check itself is technically compliant. These obligations exist alongside the duties imposed by the Equality Act 2010 and the Home Office Right to Rent Code of Practice.

The legal framework requires landlords and agents to apply Right to Rent checks consistently to all prospective tenants. Decisions influenced by assumptions about nationality, ethnicity, accent, or perceived immigration status create a clear risk of unlawful discrimination.

1. Applying checks consistently

Landlords should apply Right to Rent checks to every adult occupier aged 18 or over without exception. The same checking process should be carried out at the same stage of the tenancy application for all prospective tenants.

Selective checking, or applying different levels of scrutiny based on assumptions about an applicant’s background, may amount to unlawful discrimination. In practice, many complaints arise not from direct refusals, but from delays, additional requests, or inconsistent treatment imposed on particular applicants.

2. Conduct that creates discrimination risk

Landlords and letting agents should avoid practices that result in applicants being treated differently because of perceived immigration status.

Examples include:

• Refusing to consider an applicant solely because they are not a British citizen
• Asking some applicants for additional evidence or repeated checks while not imposing the same requirements on others
• Delaying decisions where the correct step would be to use the Landlord Checking Service
• Applying follow-up checks selectively rather than consistently to all tenants with time-limited rights

Even actions taken with the intention of maintaining compliance can create legal risk if the process is not applied uniformly.

3. Managing discrimination risk in practice

The most effective way to reduce discrimination risk is to minimise subjective decision-making within the checking process. Clear written procedures, consistent timing rules, and proper staff training help ensure that checks are applied fairly and consistently.

Landlords and letting agents should consider:

• Using documented Right to Rent procedures that apply equally to all applicants
• Training staff and agents on both immigration compliance and equality law obligations
• Retaining records that demonstrate checks were carried out consistently
• Using the Landlord Checking Service where status cannot be confirmed, rather than making subjective assumptions or judgments

Further guidance on this area can be found in materials addressing discrimination risks within the Right to Rent scheme and the wider obligations imposed by the Equality Act 2010.

Discrimination is becoming an increasingly significant area of risk for landlords and letting agents. Claims do not arise only from outright refusals to rent, but also from inconsistent or uneven application of the checking process. Enforcement bodies and courts will often look for patterns in how checks are carried out in practice.

Requesting share codes from some applicants earlier than others, delaying decisions for certain groups, or applying follow-up checks selectively can all create legal exposure, even where the underlying immigration checks themselves were technically correct. The strongest protection against discrimination claims is a uniform process applied consistently to all applicants, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, accent, or perceived immigration status.

Section H: Summary

The Right to Rent share code has become a key part of how landlords and letting agents in England comply with their statutory checking obligations where a tenant’s immigration status is held digitally. In many cases, it is the required method for verifying a tenant’s right to rent and obtaining a statutory excuse against civil penalties.

That protection, however, is conditional on proper compliance. Checks must be completed before occupation begins, using the correct GOV.UK online service, with clear evidence retained and properly dated. Where a tenant holds a time-limited right to rent, landlords must diarise and complete follow-up checks before the relevant permission expires. Where status cannot be confirmed through a share code or acceptable documents, the lawful route is to use the Home Office Landlord Checking Service.

Right to Rent obligations must also be applied consistently and in accordance with equality law. Using the same process for all adult occupiers, without assumptions, selective treatment, or unnecessary delay, helps reduce both immigration enforcement risk and exposure to discrimination claims. When used correctly, the share code system provides a clear and structured method of compliance. When handled poorly, it can create avoidable risks that often become apparent only after records are lost or deadlines have passed.
