Has Ryanair’s legal win weakened Right to Rent?
National estate agent chain Carter Jonas says a recent landmark ruling won by budget airline Ryanair has a direct bearing on the recently-introduced Right to Rent scheme. Earlier this year Ryanair won a case against the government when the airline was fined £4,000 after it flew two Albanians into Edinburgh from Spain who were subsequently found by UK Border Agency staff to have false passports. Ryanair argued successfully that it’s not fair to fine airlines when illegal immigrants arrive at UK airports because most airline staff are not experienced enough to spot fake passports. During the appeal hearing the court heard that Ryanair has been paying out more than £400,000 a year in fines for flying illegal immigrants into UK airports. Lisa Simon, Head of Residential Lettings at Carter Jonas (pictured), says there are “clear parallels” for landlords and agents under the Right to Rent scheme, which requires those renting out property to check a potential tenant’s documentation to prove they have the right rent in the UK.

Carter Jonas supports bike racer
Stephanie Waddelow, a Lettings Negotiator at Carter Jonas, Cambridge, likes a bit of action when the office closes, so the agency is supporting her in her speedy pursuit of success in the Ducati TriOptions class, riding the Highsparks Motorsport/ Carter Jonas Ducati. Steph started racing minimotos at the age of 11, progressed to the MRO Superteen championship on the Aprilia 125, then the Triumph Triple Challenge series. This year her first race meeting was at Silverstone alongside the British Superbikes, as well as competing in the Post Classic 125 class at CRMC onboard the Gary Bryant 1984 Honda 125, with podium finishes in five of the seven races to date this season. Stephanie says that the racing this year would not have been possible without her generous sponsors, “Highsparks Motorsport provide the Ducati 899 and Carter Jonas funds my tyres on the Ducati 899 for the season, while Gary Bryant, who owns it, pays the running costs for the 125.”
