Residency (for tax purposes) and your correspondence address are quite
different things. It's quite beyond the capability of any letting agent,
I would suspect, to determine a landlord's tax residency other than by
asking them and hoping they tell the truth.
It seems ever more likely to me that this exercise is designed to
discover landlords (registered as resident with the letting agent but
with foreign addresses) who are actually "non-resident" in the legal
sense, and then chase them.
