Key dates for Luton landlords

  • Now: check each property’s gas safety record, EICR and EPC are in date.
  • By 18 December 2026: book any check that’s due, before local engineers get busy.
  • 15 January 2027: the East of England window opens. You can register early, from 15 December 2026.
  • 14 April 2027: the deadline for Luton properties.

Your deadline follows where the property is, not where you live. See the full East of England dates and areas, or every region if you let elsewhere too.

Where Luton Borough Council comes in

You register on the government’s national “Register your rental property” service, not with the council. Luton Borough Council is the local housing authority for Luton, so after 14 April 2027 it’s the body that can act against landlords who haven’t registered: a civil penalty of up to £7,000, and up to £40,000 for false information or continued breaches. See what happens if you don’t register.

Licensing in Luton is separate

The register doesn’t replace council licensing. If your Luton property is a house in multiple occupation, or is in an area with selective licensing, you need the licence as well as the registration. Check with Luton Borough Council which schemes apply to your address.

What you’ll need

A current gas safety record (where there’s gas), a valid EICR and the EPC, plus your details and the property and tenancy details. The full list is in landlord register documents, and the fee is explained in landlord register cost.

Your Luton checklist

  • List every property you let in Luton

  • Book anything that's due by 18 December 2026
  • Register between 15 January 2027 and 14 April 2027
  • Check with Luton Borough Council whether the property also needs a licence
