Foreign law may make its way to America
I want to alert landlords to a disturbing trend that has hit European landlords and could hop the pond. Probably in response to refugees and/or immigrants, England passed, as part of its Immigration Act of 2014, a law known as “right to rent“. I know, my readers are already thinking – this must be a pro-tenant law. Maybe a tenant’s bill of rights or something like that? Nope. Just the opposite. Instead, English landlords are being required to perform what amount to immigration checks on their tenants.
