Landlord Registration renewal
If you registered as a landlord, you must renew your registration every three years and pay a renewal fee. If you’re the lead landlord in a joint owner group, you’re responsible for paying the registration renewal fee. You don’t need to renew a registration if you’re no longer a landlord.
Registration renewal date
Check your registration certificate for your renewal date. Eight weeks before your landlord registration is due to end, you’ll receive an email about renewing your registration at the email address you used to register. It's important to check your spam folder in case you don’t receive the email in your inbox.
If you don’t receive the email, contact the Landlord Registration Scheme and ask them to resend the email:
- landlordregistration@nidirect.gov.uk
- telephone 0300 200 7821
Paying a renewal fee
You can use a credit or debit card to pay your renewal fee online. To pay, go to:
Joint owner landlords renewing registration
For a joint owner group, each landlord needs to renew their registration but only the lead landlord pays the renewal fee.
Before logging in, the lead landlord will need:
- joint owners’ names
- landlord registration number for each joint owner
- email address
- a credit or debit card to pay the renewal fee
Creating keycodes for other joint owner landlords
