Get Ready - ‘Register Your Rental Property’ Service
Published by the Government
This winter we’re rolling out the ‘Register your rental property’ service, as part of the second phase of Renters’ Rights Act implementation.
If you’re a landlord of an assured or regulated tenancy, then you must register yourself and each of your properties through the service.
You won’t need to register on the service if you’re a landlord of supported exempt accommodation as set out in the Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023. You can see whether this applies to you by checking Section 12 of the Act.
There’s an annual £65 registration fee per property, and you’ll need to renew your registration each year. If you don’t register your properties, then you risk being fined. Offline registration routes will be available for landlords who need them.
Gas Safety Week 2026 - Take No Chances with Gas Safety
Press Release
The Guild of Letting & Management Limited (GLM) supports Gas Safety Week 2026 and urges people to “Take No Chances” with gas safety
Gas Safety Week takes place from 14th–20th September 2026, bringing together organisations, businesses, community groups and Gas Safe registered engineers across the UK to help keep the nation gas safe.
As a supporter of this year’s campaign, GLM is taking part by sharing gas safety advice with letting agents, posting campaign content on social media, reminding landlords to book an annual gas safety check.
Preparing for the Autumn Gas Safety Check Season
Even though summer has consisted of heatwave after heatwave, it’s important for landlords to start thinking about heating supply, appliances and installations in their rental properties.
Timing this article around Gas Safety Week (14th - 20th September 2026) is no accident. Coordinated annually by the Gas Safe Register, the campaign brings the gas industry, landlords, letting agents and consumer bodies together to reinforce one message - every check counts.
Approaching Phase 2 - Renters’ Rights Act 2025
As the Autumn approaches, letting agents, landlords and most important of all, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) are preparing for the second phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. It is the Private Rented Sector Database - to be known as “Register Your Rental Property” which has created a stir since the Conservative government announced all landlords in England would be required to register their rental properties on a database.
Starting 1st September 2025., MHCLG will be starting a pilot of the database in Birmingham, Gateshead and Nottingham. The pilot will involve completing a 3-part registration process which includes providing personal details, property details and compliance information (e.g. Gas safety certificates). The data provided will be viewed by local council enforcement officers but won’t be used for enforcement purposes.
