Illegal immigrant crackdown scheme sees JUST 31 people deported, officials admit

The ‘right to rent’ scheme, requires landlords and agents to check the immigration status of prospective tenants ahead of them moving in.

But figures released by the government show that just 75 landlords were fined for breaking the law on rent. 

And, while there were 7,806 calls made to the Home Office’s helpline for landlords between July 1st 2015 and June 30th last year - only 654 of those cases led to investigations.
