LandlordProof
Register your rental property · confirmed dates

The landlord database goes live 15 December 2026. Get register-ready now.

England's new "Register your rental property" service starts in the West Midlands on 15 December 2026 and rolls out region by region until every landlord must be registered by 14 November 2027. You can't register cleanly with missing details or a lapsed certificate — so LandlordProof keeps your properties in order now, and flags anything out of date, so you're ready the day it reaches your area.

The facts, confirmed

What's happening — and the dates that matter

📅 The timeline

  • 15 December 2026 — service goes live, West Midlands first
  • Region by region across England over the following ~12 months
  • 3 months to register once your region joins
  • 14 November 2027 — every landlord letting in England must be registered

💷 Cost & consequences

  • £65 per property, per year — the government registration fee
  • Up to £7,000 civil penalty for an initial failure to register
  • Up to £40,000 and/or criminal prosecution for serious or repeat breaches
  • No possession order (e.g. Section 8) while you're unregistered

The £65 fee is the government's, paid to the register — it is separate from LandlordProof. Figures and dates are set by government and can change; verify your region's date on GOV.UK.

Your deadline by region

When does your area have to be registered?

Registration opens in the West Midlands on 15 December 2026, then region by region. Your deadline is set by where the property is — not where you live (a London landlord with a Birmingham flat follows the West Midlands date).

  • Keeps certificates in date with reminders
  • Flags gaps that would hold up registration
  • Ready to go the day the service reaches your region
Why get ahead of it

Registration is only quick if you're organised

🗂️ Details in one place

Landlord and property information kept tidy and current, so there's nothing to dig out when registration opens in your area.

📅 Certificates in date

You can't be register-ready with a lapsed certificate — reminders keep gas, EICR and EPC current.

🚦 Readiness at a glance

See which properties are register-ready and which have a gap to close, before your region's deadline lands.

Confirmed, and coming region by region. The government's "Register your rental property" service (the Private Rented Sector Database from the Renters' Rights Act) goes live on 15 December 2026, starting in the West Midlands, and rolls out across England over roughly the next 12 months, with all landlords required to be registered by 14 November 2027. LandlordProof helps you get ready; it is not the government register and does not register you. Check your region's start date and the current rules on GOV.UK. General guidance, not legal advice.
