The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, announced yesterday at the Conservative Party Conference, that from December, landlords who knowingly rent out their property to illegal immigrants will be committing a criminal offence, and that they could go to prison for doing so.
Addressing conference she unveiled a wide-ranging clamp-down on migrants coming to the UK, she reportedly said: “I come here today with a warning to those that simply oppose any steps to reduce net migration”.
This was her first speech at a Conservative Party conference as Home Secretary, she said the Government will implement a three-pronged attack on illegal immigration by going after the landlords, employers and banks that allow them to function.
