Housing & Construction Authority: Housing benefits and rental matters

When do you need to register a lease in the HMS Rent Register?

Landlords renting out more than two dwellings are obliged to register their leases in the Register of Rents within 30 days of signing. If the tenant intends to apply for housing benefit, the contract must be registered in the Register of Rents.
