Lodger room rental

[bitsbobs]

Hi is it correct that If you're renting out a room in your primary residence to a lodger, you are not legally obligated to check their identification or immigration status under the Right to Rent scheme in wales UK?

A quick search brings up gov.uk, Shelter, and many letting advice sites which all say Right to Rent checks must be carried out on Lodgers as well as tenants. eg

https://england.shelter.org.uk/housi...gration_checks

These sites refer to England though but you can probably find the equivalent for Wales online.

UPDATE Just found this gov.uk page which says check not required in Wales

I keep getting mixed statements from the search engines on the internet, but most say for lodger sublet not required, was hoping a solicitor would be on here.
BTW Person is British just no official id and i have known them since birth in uk..

Sorry I don't have the qualifications to satisfy you but I think you can rely on the official government guidance on gov.uk.
