Not as easy as having an actual residence document, but might help: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... user-guide

You may also want to go through Chapter 1, Part 3 of the Immigration Act 2014, relating to the checks that residential landlords need to carry out before renting out property. Look especially at Section 21(4), which lists non-British non-EEA citizens who resides in the UK under EU law as "people with a limited right to rent".mmwindle wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 6:46 pmMy situation is in agreement if the gov.uk Right to Rent guide, page 32 (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... idance.pdf)
Yeah, when I went to bed I thought that was probably the case. I was tired last night, sorry for that.secret.simon wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 11:49 amThis document is the same as the one that the OP linked to and quoted from in the original post.kamoe wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 10:39 pmNot as easy as having an actual residence document, but might help: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... user-guide
They have a right to refuse to rent. There is no law that says they must rent to someone if they have doubts and a person cannot force them to either. It is entirely up to a landlord to take the risk. Remember that they face huge fines (thousands) if found to be renting to people with no official legal status. This is why they are so overly cautious and want to see evidence of immigration status. Unreasonable to expect any landlord to be fully up to date with knowledge of all the different visa and immigration routes and rules. They simply want to see the evidence in the form of a visa/BRP/RC etc.a landlord could still refuse.
True. But there may be aspects of discrimination law, etc, that would be engaged. It can get complicated and involved well beyond immigration law, which is the subject matter of these forums.
Absolutely agree. You are articulating better why I think the OP already did the best they could, and why it might be worth considering applying for a RC ASAP*.CR001 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 12:07 pmThey have a right to refuse to rent.

Not if you do not already have a BRC, which is the whole point of the issue. The OP would need to wait for March 29 to apply.
Which is why I stand in my opinion that applying for a RC might be the fastest route out of the situation.secret.simon wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 12:12 pmIt can get complicated and involved well beyond immigration law, which is the subject matter of these forums.
The conversion of a CoA to a right-to-rent is described on p35 of the guide.kamoe wrote: ↑Thu Feb 21, 2019 8:32 pm1) You could apply right now for a residence, card, and you would get a paper Certificate of Application certifying your right to work (which might or might not convince a landlord that it also means right to rent) within a week. Then you would get a Residence Card within a few weeks (sometimes it's as fast as 3 weeks, but check latest processing times here: eea-route-applications/eea-fm-eea2-time ... -1180.html)
