Landlord possibly not declaring rent

propertyrental

It would be helpful if you gave us an inkling of what inkling you have? What makes you think he's not totally legit, and in what way is his lack of legitimacy relevant to HMRC?

More details please.

It's surely our citizen duty to inform authorities if we think something's wrong.  (Hopefully) most would do so for obvious theft, murder, other crimes, abuse.  The country needs this tax revenues, help HMRC find them!

Again, depends what grounds you have for thinking it.

He probably collects the rent in cash under cover of darkness, and wearing a false moustache...

As a tenant you want to protect yourself ! 
Do you pay the LL in cash each month.
Has he got pockets full of brown envelope each week/month.
Two heavies when he calls to collect ?
Have you got a tenancy agreement, deposit information IF you paid a deposit.
EPC EICR GSC and PAT testing done ? 
Home for for Habitation ?
Decent home standards ?
You can always speak to Shelter and they will help you get this LL sent to prison 👌
However Shelter house Nobody so you might need the Salvation army by Xmas

Is there anyway I can check if my landlord is declaring his rental income to HMRC? I believe he has a number of properties and I have an inkling that he is not totally legit.

Is that “inkling” somehow related to the issue you reported in the other thread that your LL isnt taking action to help you with the barking dog next door?

just wondering

To be fair it's unclear from the other thread whether the OP reported the dog to his (the OP's) landlord, or the neighbour's landlord.

thats his problem anyway, if he gets caught.

Unless the landlord is living abroad, in which case my (inexpert) understanding is that the tenant / ;etting agent needs to withhold some of the rent to pass directly to HMRC ?

That is only if the landlord, who is living abroad, doesn't apply for the Non-Resident Landlord scheme.
