# RIGHT TO RENT CHECK RECORD AND LETTER

Date: 10 May 2029

Parties: Oakmere Lettings Ltd and Farah El-Sayed

## 1. Status of this document

Oakmere Lettings Ltd, acting for the landlord of Flat 4, 19 Linton Road, Birmingham B15 2QH, records a right-to-rent check for proposed occupier Farah El-Sayed. This property is in England; the statutory scheme and Home Office guidance in force at the check date apply.

## 2. Parties and subject

On 10 May 2029 Farah attended by video and supplied a Home Office share code and date of birth. The landlord used the prescribed online service, checked that the photograph matched Farah, and retained the online confirmation reference RT-29-55184.

## 3. Facts and request

The result records a time-limited right to rent ending 30 November 2029. Oakmere will carry out a follow-up check in the prescribed period and will not treat the present record as immigration advice or as proof of any status beyond the statutory check result.

## 4. Evidence and checks

Farah confirms that the details returned by the service relate to her. The record includes her name, date of check, share-code outcome, checker identity and follow-up date. Copies are stored separately from general marketing files and access is restricted to the landlord, agent and authorised compliance staff.

## 5. Procedure and deadline

If a follow-up produces a change, Oakmere will consider the prescribed notification and next steps rather than make an immediate assumption. Farah should notify Oakmere of a changed document or contact address, but the landlord must use the official process and must not demand a particular nationality or discriminate in selecting occupiers.

## 6. Rights and remedies

If the online service is unavailable, a manual check or Home Office Landlord Checking Service route may be required where permitted. A failure to pass this check does not itself decide a tenancy dispute, immigration appeal or criminal liability; specialist advice and current Home Office guidance may be needed.

## 7. Records and signature

This record is signed by Hannah Price, Oakmere compliance manager, and acknowledged by Farah on 10 May 2029. It is retained for the statutory period and then securely destroyed unless another lawful retention basis applies.
