An NRL, or Non-Resident Landlord, is a landlord who does not live in the UK and therefore cannot manage their rental properties personally. If you are a non-resident landlord and do not have an NRL you will be charged 20%. Your letting agent will withhold 20% tax on rent received on your behalf and will declare the amount of rent collected to HMRC annually.

By law, landlords cannot:

  • Enter a property without permission unless there is an emergency
  • Change the door locks, even if the tenant breaches their contract
  • Refuse to make essential repairs, even if the tenant is in arrears
  • Increase rent during a fixed-term tenancy
  • Increase rent without a minimum of 1 month notice
  • Increase rent higher than other similar properties in the area

You can put your property up for rent for 90 days without a permit. Anything longer than 90 days requires a permit.

In London, landlords are responsible for:

  • Providing an Energy Performance Certificate
  • Keep rental properties safe and free from health hazards
  • Making sure all gas and electrical equipment are maintained
  • Protecting the tenant’s deposit
  • Provide the tenant with a copy of the ‘How to rent: the checklist for renting in England” guide

A landlord or property manager may request a holding deposit from a prospective tenant to “hold” the property and take it off the market.
