Every landlord deadline for 2026–2027, in one place
Landlords in England face three big changes at once: registering every property on the new database, the Renters' Rights Act, and Making Tax Digital. Check where you stand in a minute.
When must I register my rental property?
Your postcode is sent to postcodes.io (a free public lookup) to find its region. Nothing is stored.

Opens 15 December 2026, region by region. £65 per property per year. Deadlines run from 14 March to 14 November 2027.
