Register your Rental Property Service
As part of the Renters Rights Act 2025, a mandatory registration system for private landlords in England will be introduced in 2027.
The Private Rented Sector (PRS) Database will hold the information of private landlords renting properties in England under assured or regulated tenancies.
When you have to register will depend on the region where the rental property is located, as the government is staggering the rollout to prevent system issues.
Who needs to register?
- Private landlords renting properties in England under assured or regulated tenancies
- Landlords are required to register themselves and each of their rental properties
- There are specific accommodation types that are excluded e.g., social housing
When do I need to register?
Each region has a different deadline, with a three-month window to register. To find out when registration opens and the deadline for your area, check the Gov website.
How much does it cost?
- £65 per property per year
- The fee is tax-deductible
What information will I need to provide?
- Personal details and contact information
- Rental property address and number of bedrooms
- Rental amount and tenancy information
- Number of occupants
- Gas safety certificate (if applicable)
- Electrical safety certificate
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
- Relevant property licences
What happens if I don’t register?
If a landlord does not register their rental property, they could face penalties of up to £7,000. Providing false or misleading information or repeat breaches could result in penalties of up to £40,000.

What is a Mortgage Stress Test?
