Landlords expected to check IDs

The proposed legislation enlisting landlords as unofficial officers of the UK's border force has worrying implications.

The legislation might see landlords having to evaluate whether prospective tenants documents are legitimate or fakes. This kind of judgement call could see landlords getting sued for discrimination under the Race Relations Act.

The irony of the situation is that the fear of this might see an increase in landlords making racist decisions, with more landlords opting for the plainly British tenant.
