To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have received about rental problems faced by British National (Overseas) citizens who are currently in the UK on leave outside the Immigration Rules; and when they expect to be able to reply to any such representations.

We are not aware of any representations made on this issue.

British National (Overseas) citizens currently in the UK with Leave Outside the Rules should not experience any problems when renting property. A person whose passport has been endorsed with a stamp showing they have been granted six months’ leave to enter will be able to prove their right to rent to a landlord in England.

The Home Office would like to know of any issues in this regard and encourage anyone with information regarding this to pass it onto the Department.
