answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>Not all letting agents charge fees for right to rent checks and when right to rent was rolled out in the West Midlands, it was found that the majority of letting agents were not charging a fee for conducting the right to rent immigration checks. Letting agents are required to be fully transparent about their fees and publicise a complete tariff of fees in their offices and on their website. The Government believes that full transparency gives consumers the information they need. We intend to carry out a review later this year into how well this approach is working.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 13/07/2016 15:42:31 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
