About us

Who runs this site

Register Your Rental Property grew out of our own experience as landlords. When the Renters' Rights Act became law, we went looking for a straight answer to a simple question: what do I need to have ready before I register? The answer was spread across government pages, council websites and long legal guides, much of it written for lawyers rather than landlords.

Most landlords we know let one or two properties and manage them alongside a full-time job. They want to do things properly, but they don't have time to piece the rules together, and getting it wrong can mean a penalty of up to £7,000. We started Register Your Rental Property to put everything a landlord needs in one place, in plain English.

Our goal

Make registration the easy part of being a landlord. Most landlords already keep their homes safe and their paperwork in order. What trips them up is knowing which documents count, which ones have expired and when their deadline falls. We check that for them, so that when their region opens, registering takes minutes instead of an evening of searching.

Questions

Common questions

What is the PRS database?

The Private Rented Sector (PRS) Database is England's new national register of private landlords and the homes they let, created by the Renters' Rights Act 2025. The government's online service for it is called Register your rental property, on GOV.UK. Landlords register themselves and each property, pay £65 per property and renew every year.

Is this the official government website?

No. This is an independent website run by a private company. The official Register your rental property service is run by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government on GOV.UK. You can register directly with the government without using us.

Can you register my property for me?

No. Under the regulations the landlord must register. Agents can supply some information, but they can't complete the registration. We prepare everything so you can do it quickly yourself. How registration works

Do I pay you the £65 fee?

No. The £65 per property fee goes straight to the government when you register. Our Ready to Register check and Stay Registered are separate, optional services.

What happens to my documents?

Certificates often include your tenants' names, so we treat them as personal data. We store them encrypted in the EU, use them only to check your registration, and delete them within 30 days of your included 12 months of Stay Registered ending (unless you keep Stay Registered). Our privacy notice has the details.

My property is in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

This register covers England only. Wales has Rent Smart Wales, Scotland has Landlord Registration Scotland, and Northern Ireland has its Landlord Registration Scheme. All three already require landlords to register.

Do I also need to join the landlord ombudsman?

Yes, once it launches. The Renters' Rights Act creates a separate ombudsman that private landlords must join. Joining one doesn't register you with the other.
