Landlords with properties in England only
Are you ready for the
Second phase of the Renters Right Act ?
Getting ready: ‘Register your rental property’
This winter the Government will be rolling out the ‘Register your rental property’ service, as part of the second phase of Renters’ Rights Act implementation.
If you’re a landlord of an assured or regulated tenancy, then you must register yourself and each of your properties through the service.
There’s an annual £65 registration fee per property, and you’ll need to renew your registration each year.
If you don’t register your properties, then you risk being fined. Offline registration routes will be available for landlords who need them.
Regional rollout
The Government will be rolling out the service on a regional basis across England from 15 December 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions section below.
At the moment you are only required to register your properties if they are currently under let, or become let during the rollout period. Under future legislation, you will also be required to register any unoccupied properties before you or your agent markets them for let. You and your letting agent will also need to ensure your unique landlord and property identifiers are included on adverts at this point. We will provide further guidance ahead of this requirement.
Information you’ll be asked to provide
You’ll need a GOV.UK One Login to use the service. You’ll need to record details of your properties, like the address and the number of residents and bedrooms, as well as the amount of rent you are receiving for a property. You’ll also need to demonstrate you meet health and safety standards by uploading gas, electric, and energy performance certificates. A full list of the information you’ll need to have ready is available further down this page.
If you use a letting agent, then you’ll still need to start the registration process yourself. There will be an option for your agent or property manager to upload certain information on your behalf. We’ll publish guidance for letting agents and property managers on how this will work ahead of service rollout. To be notified when new guidance is published, you can sign up to
