Search the Electronic Rent Register
The rent officer can register fair rents for most private-sector residential accommodation let before 15 January 1989. This is allowed for in the Rent Act 1977.
Landlords or tenants can apply to the rent officer for a rent to be registered. They can apply either jointly or on their own. There is no charge for this service. Rents can be re-registered every two years to keep them up to date, or earlier if a significant change takes place. A joint application by both landlord and tenant can be made at any time.
We will enter details of the rent officer’s decision on the Rent Register and send copies to the landlord and tenant. The registered rent is the most that can usually be charged by a landlord.
The online Electronic Rent Register is a public document.
The Electronic Rent Register is updated every Sunday and as such may be unavailable for short periods. Please try again later if you experience any problems.
