So you can be entitled to live in the UK and work in the UK but you are not allowed to rent a property with the money you have earned legally in the UK. That sounds like a court challenge of some sort surely?

It's bullshit, but it is the way the Law is worded that is the problem. Another piece of ill thought through legislation.

What actually is causing the problem?

Foreigners.

Foreigners.

The Welsh have been here a long time and there's little to be done about it now. Somebody has surely ballsed up in this instance however

What's needed is a hard border across Offa's Dyke.

What actually is causing the problem?

The cause of the problem is the Government deciding that Landlords should be enforcing Government immigration policy by being obliged to check if a potential tenant is a legal resident. The Government has helpfully prescribed exactly what documents and legal status a tenant should have, and it is in the detail of this that the problem lies.

The Oceanus Britannicus was surely a hard enough border, and the immigrants who crossed it - Horsa and Hengist and all their pals - should surely be sent back across it.

So they can be legally resident but if they don't have the paperwork which matches specific checks they're caught out?

If so it rather highlights the problem of rushed legislation, thank god we have no further plans for that

Isn't Dundee enough of a hostile environment for you? Were you hoping for Arbroath?

Yup. And if a tennant come provide exactly the right documentation then they are stuffed. Poorly thought through legislation.
