Landlords Reminded To Renew Registrations

The Department for Communities (DfC) has reminded landlords that registered in January, February and March 2021 to renew their registration if they're still a landlord.

In February 2014, the Landlord Registration Scheme was introduced and each period of registration lasts for three years. Landlords who registered or renewed with the scheme at the beginning of 2021 will need to check when their registration expires and, if they are continuing to rent out their properties, they need to register with the scheme for a further three years. By not renewing the registration while continuing to let properties, landlords are not complying with the law.

The Scheme aims to improve tenant's confidence whilst improving landlords' accountability by promoting good practice and ensuring appropriate advice and assistance is available.
