- Check the documents of any other adult occupiers aged 18 or older living at the property, even if they are not named on the tenancy agreement.
- Make copies of the documents and securely store them throughout the tenancy and for at least one year afterwards.
- Make follow up checks where identification is time-limited, e.g. a student visa.
- Return original documents once the check is finished.
