Under new immigration laws, illegal immigrants living in rented accommodation in Britain will face abrupt eviction.
The new laws will also allow landlords to evict illegal immigrants without a court order.
However, under a new criminal offence to be included in a new immigration bill, landlords who fail to check the immigration status of the tenants could be fined or jailed for up to five years.
The Right to Rent Scheme is currently being piloted in the West Midlands and will be extended across the country. Under this scheme, landlords will be made to check evidence of the tenant's right to remain in the UK by examining their passport or biometric residence permit.
