Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance his Department plans to issue to landlords in relation to the introduction of the settled status scheme for EU nationals who live in the private rented sector.

The Government has made clear that the current arrangements for landlords conducting checks on EU nationals, involving the use of national passports and identity cards, will not change prior to introduction of the future skills-based immigration system. Updated guidance for Landlords will be published shortly.
