Register your rental property in the Yorkshire and Humber

You have until 14 July 2027 to register yourself and each property you let. That's a three-month window from 15 April 2027, and you can register earlier if you want to. After the deadline, councils in the region can start enforcing.

The property's location sets the date, not your home address. A landlord who lives elsewhere and lets a flat in Leeds still has to meet the Yorkshire and Humber deadline.

A property in any of these council areas falls under the Yorkshire and Humber dates. The government publishes the regions but not this list, so it's matched from the ONS council-to-region lookup. Check your council in the table for every council.

Landlords with assured or regulated tenancies must register themselves and each property. During the rollout, that covers properties that are let or become let. Supported exempt accommodation doesn't need to be registered. Holiday lets aren't tenancies, so they're not covered.

The fee is £65 a year per property, and you renew each year. It's pro-rated during the rollout, so landlords in the first regions don't pay more.

You pay it to the government through the Register your rental property service. Redilet never charges it. Redilet doesn't register you or collect the fee. It checks your certificates first, so you can fix gaps before you register and avoid a fine.

The fee can change. Check the current fee on GOV.UK (last checked 5 November 2026).

• A GOV.UK One Login
• Each property's address, number of bedrooms and residents, and the rent you receive
• Gas, electrical and energy performance certificates, where they apply
• Your name, date of birth, address, phone number and email

Organisations also need details such as company or charity numbers, and their directors or trustees.

Start with your certificates, because an expired one can't be fixed on the day. Find your gas safety record (CP12), electrical report (EICR) and EPC for each property, then check the expiry dates.

Redilet's free checker reads those certificates and shows which properties have a gap. It doesn't register you. Only the government service can do that.

Registration is a legal requirement, and GOV.UK warns that you risk a fine if you don't complete it. Letting or advertising an unregistered property can bring a civil penalty of up to £7,000. Repeat or fraudulent breaches can bring up to £40,000 or criminal prosecution.

Dates, fee and requirements come from the government's Housing Hub guidance and GOV.UK announcement, checked on 31 October 2026. Check them before you act. This page is researched information, not legal advice.
