Be PRS Database Ready from Day One
The Renters' Rights Act 2024 creates a national PRS Database of every private landlord and rental property in England. PRSCheck ensures your council is prepared to use it from the moment it goes live.
What is the PRS Database?
The Renters' Rights Act 2024 (sections 73-81) establishes a national Private Rented Sector Database, maintained by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). Every private landlord in England will be required to register themselves and their rental properties before they can lawfully let them.
The database serves two purposes: giving tenants a way to verify their landlord is registered, and giving local authorities a comprehensive view of the PRS in their area for the first time.
What the database will contain
Based on the Act and MHCLG consultation documents, the PRS Database will hold the following for every registered property:
Landlord identity
Name, address, unique identifier
Property portfolio
All registered rental properties per landlord
Compliance status
EPC rating, gas safety, electrical safety, licensing
Penalty history
Civil penalties, banning orders, rent repayment orders
Registration dates
Initial registration, renewals, expiry dates
Managing agent
Agent details where a third party manages the property
How PRSCheck integrates
Auto-sync registered landlords
PRSCheck pulls landlord and property records from the PRS Database API automatically. New registrations appear in your dashboard within hours, not weeks.
Cross-reference compliance
Every synced property is automatically checked against EPC records, gas safety certificates, EICR reports, deposit protection, and your local licensing schemes. Non-compliant properties are flagged immediately.
Flag unregistered properties
PRSCheck compares the PRS Database records against its own property intelligence (council tax, EPC, and Land Registry data) to identify rental properties that are not registered. These are high-priority enforcement targets.
What councils should do now
The PRS Database is expected to launch in late 2026. Councils that prepare now will be able to act on the data immediately, while those that wait will spend months catching up.
Audit your existing data
Use PRSCheck to build a complete picture of PRS properties in your borough from existing data sources: council tax, EPC records, licensing databases, and Land Registry.
Prepare integration workflows
Set up automated compliance screening so that when PRS Database records flow in, they are immediately cross-referenced against your local enforcement data.
Go live with PRS Database sync
PRSCheck connects directly to the PRS Database API. Registered landlords sync automatically. Unregistered properties are flagged for enforcement action.
Continuous enforcement
Ongoing monitoring detects registration lapses, expired compliance documents, and new rental properties that have not yet been registered.
