What North East landlords need ready

The database asks for your details, each property's details, the tenancy and rent, your gas safety, electrical (EICR) and EPC certificates, and any HMO or other licence. In North East, 6 of 12 councils run an additional or selective licensing scheme that is in force or approved, so check your council below before you register.

147,109 homes in the region have a latest EPC lodged as privately rented. Of those with a valid certificate, 54,574 are rated D or lower, which matters for the EPC C target for 2030.
