When must I join the landlord register?

Enter your rental property's postcode to see your region's registration window and how long you have left.

Use the postcode of the property you let, not your home address. For example, B15 2TT.

Or choose your region

We look up your postcode with the free postcodes.io service to find its region. We don't store it. Region dates are from GOV.UK.

How the dates work

Registration opens region by region over 12 months. Once your region's window opens, you have three months to register each property you let and pay the fee. You can register early, once registration opens on 15 December 2026, whichever region you're in.
