In a written parliamentary answer (reported 11 November 2026) to Conservative MP Andrew Snowden, Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook said the government is considering whether HM Revenue and Customs and other agencies could access data collected through the new private rental sector landlord registration service ('Register Your Rental Property'), which begins rollout in December 2026. He said officials would assess benefits and risks, ensure any sharing is proportionate and consistent with data protection and landlord privacy rights, and that details would be set out in future legislation after the initial rollout. Local authorities will have access to the full range of information for enforcement duties. Membership limited to coverage of this data-sharing consideration and ministerial answer.
