Tenant Sanctions Checks: How New UK Regulations Will Affect Rental Applications
From 14th May 2025, tenant sanctions checks will become a formal part of the UK rental process. Under updated financial sanctions regulations, letting agents must screen all prospective tenants against the UK Sanctions List before a tenancy can proceed.
This change applies to every applicant—UK residents and overseas arrivals alike. For many, the process will feel similar to Right to Rent checks. But this time, it’s not about immigration—it’s about financial compliance and legal obligations.
Let’s break down what this means and what you’ll need to prepare.
