Right to rent support

David Rose 5 years ago updated by GU1 Property Limited 8 months ago 4

At the moment to correctly record right to rent info I have to
1. Log the details of the tenants ID under identification
2. Upload a copy of the scans of their ID to Documents
3. Record the expiry/recheck date in the Calendar.

So three process, all of which are unlinked, so I'm relying on my brain to remember that these three things are all linked together. Seeing how R2R is such an integral part of any tenancy (and carries such a horrendous penalty if wrong)  I'd like to see a specific section, where I can, in one action, record what the ID is and that it conforms to R2R rules (so may be more than one document), upload those documents and attach them to the R2R object. Record whether the R2R has an expiry date (i.e if the tenants permission to rent in the UK has a time limit) and if it does, schedule a recheck in either a year or when the permission to rent in the UK expires.

I also think it will be a great idea to have this expiry date of the right to rent in “early warnings” too so you don’t have to keep checking your calendar. 

I think this would be really useful, especially the possibility to add the R2R expiration date so that we can be reminded that we need to ask the tenant for a new code. (I think R2R can be indefinite - so this would need to be an option as well)

This would be really useful. We find we are renting to more and more none British passport holders so are having to use the home office web site to verify a tenants right to rent. Would be great if there was a better way to record the fact this was done, note down the expiry date with reminder and upload the PDF proof.
