Warwick district is in the West Midlands, which means Leamington Spa landlords are among the first in England who must join the new landlord register. Registration opens on 15 December 2026, and the deadline is 14 March 2027.
We’ve worked with Leamington landlords since 2007. Here’s what we’d want you to know this autumn, five months into the Renters’ Rights Act.
Your register deadline
- The register your rental property service opens on 15 December 2026.
- Every let property in the region must be registered by 14 March 2027.
- The fee is £65 per property, per year.
- Councils can fine landlords who don’t register on time.
Rent reviews: one route only
Rents across the Warwick district averaged £1,241 a month in August 2026, up 1.9%, according to the ONS. Any increase now needs a Section 13 notice, no more than once a year, with at least two months’ notice. Tenants can challenge it at tribunal, so we’ll always recommend a figure backed by real comparables, whether your property is a Regency apartment near the Parade or a family home in Whitnash.

Re-letting under the new rules
- Advertise one fixed rent and don’t accept higher offers.
- Take no more than one month’s rent in advance.
- No blanket bans on pets, children or tenants receiving benefits.
- Reply to pet requests within 28 days.
Keep your records ready.
Existing written tenancies needed the government information sheet by 31 May 2026. Without Section 21, possession depends on proving a specific ground, so keep rent records, messages and certificates in one place.
Your October checklist
- Property, tenancy and safety details gathered for the register.
- Deadline in the diary: 14 March 2027.
- Rent review planned through Section 13.
- Re-let process updated.
Let’s get you registered.
We’ll check your paperwork, get you register-ready and, if you’d like, take on rent reviews, re-lets and compliance from there.
