The Association of Residential Letting Agents made a short sharp attack on the government last night, over freedom of movement and Brexit.
Yesterday the government appeared to go back on earlier assurances on freedom of movement, saying that the EU's free movement rules would end immediately at the end of October if there was a No Deal Brexit.
Theresa May had considered phasing out the rules if the UK leaves the EU without an agreement, but those plans have now appear to have been dropped without consultation with the EU; the change would affect the rights of EU citizens who arrive in the UK from November 1 onwards.

i don't care what this fascist government implements! I'll rent to whom I choose!
A risky strategy based on the fines or even imprisonment that could occur if failing to comply with RTR regulations!
I would NOT risk things and would adapt my tenant sourcing.
That inevitably means only EU Nationals that have the Home Office Settled paperwork or the Right to Settle.
Without that no EU national will be renting ANY of my properties.
All LL should encourage their EU tenants to apply NOW for Settled status.
Inevitably this will make life a lot harder for LL who will naturally start defaulting to British Nationals as tenants who are guaranteed to have the RTR.
