For landlords in England
Your landlord dates, in one place.
Registration, the Renters' Rights Act and Making Tax Digital. Pick two answers and see your dates, each linked to its government source.
Registration
Find your registration deadline.
If you're a landlord of an assured or regulated tenancy, you must register yourself and each of your properties through the 'Register your rental property' service.
Your deadline depends on where the property is, not where you live. If you live in London and let a property in Birmingham, the West Midlands deadline applies.
See all nine regions on the registration deadlines page.
Making Tax Digital
Find your Making Tax Digital start date.
Your start date depends on your qualifying income: your gross self-employment and property income on your tax return.
Quarterly deadlines are on the Making Tax Digital page.
