Add your rent to the register

We are building the biggest rent transparency register in the UK. It takes one file and about a minute.

Why it matters

Rents are one of the few large costs in Britain that nobody publishes. Landlords and letting agents know what the market is doing; tenants are told what it is doing, usually by the person asking for more money.

The more tenancies the register holds, the harder an unreasonable increase is to defend — and the more each renter has to point at when they challenge one. Your rent is worth more to somebody else than it is to you.

What happens to what you send

Published
The rent, the property type, the number of bedrooms and the postcode only.
Never published
Your name, your address, your landlord’s name, and the tenancy agreement itself.
Used commercially
We may use the published figures in products we charge for.
Shared in confidence
Your agreement in full may go to government departments, local authorities, the tribunal and public-interest researchers. Never to another user, never sold, and never in anything we charge for.

Clause 12 of the terms sets this out in full, including how to withdraw.

Your tenancy agreement

A PDF, a Word document, or a photograph of each page. We read the rent out of it, show you what we found, and keep the document itself private.

Want to upload using your phone’s camera?

Scan a code with your phone and it will open a page for sending your agreement straight here. The code lasts two hours and can only add a file.

Changed your mind?

If you kept the code we gave you, withdraw your contribution here. If you contributed while applying to the tribunal, untick the box on your application instead.
