Register your rental property: common questions
Who has to register their rental property?
Private landlords renting out a property in England that is currently occupied by tenants on an assured or regulated tenancy, including organisations acting as landlords. Supported exempt accommodation is excluded. Joint landlords must each register.
What is the landlord register deadline?
It depends on the property's region. England is split into 9 regions, each with a 3-month registration period, starting with the West Midlands (15 December 2026 to 14 March 2027) and ending with the South West (15 August 2027 to 14 November 2027). You must register before midnight on your region's end date.
How much is the £65 landlord database fee?
£65 per property per year, not subject to VAT. During the roll out the first fee is pro-rated so days before 15 November 2027 are not charged. Registering on 15 December 2026 costs £5.34 (GOV.UK's own worked example). Your landlord registration and any updates are free.
Can I register before my region opens?
Yes. You can register properties in any region from 15 December 2026, so landlords with properties in several regions can register them all at the same time, as long as none is registered after its region's end date.
When do I renew?
All your properties share one renewal date: 1 year from when you registered your first property. A property added later still renews on that same date.
What if I don't register?
GOV.UK says you may face penalties of up to £7,000 for failing to register yourself and your property, and up to £40,000 for knowingly or recklessly giving false or misleading information or continuing or repeated breaches. Your local council may take enforcement action.
Does this apply in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland?
No. This service applies to properties in England. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland run their own separate landlord registration schemes, so check with the relevant government.
Is this the official service?
No. This is an independent checker, not affiliated with GOV.UK or the government. You register and pay on GOV.UK's Register your rental property service.
