rentready / Deadline card for your website
Put the landlord database deadline on your website
Letting agents, landlord associations, councils and landlord bloggers: paste one snippet and your page shows your region's registration deadline and how many days are left. It updates itself every day, and if the government moves a date, we change it once and every card follows.
What it does
- Shows the region's window from the official rollout: when the requirement starts, the deadline, and the days left. Before 15 December 2026 it also says landlords can register early.
- Gives your visitors one button to our free checker, which tells them whether each property's gas safety record, EICR and EPC will be in date at their deadline.
- Keeps a plain link in your page. If scripts are blocked, visitors still see "West Midlands landlord database deadline: 14 March 2027" as a normal link.
Privacy and fair use
The script sets no cookies, stores nothing and makes no network calls of its own; it only reads today's date in the visitor's browser. It draws inside its own box (a shadow root), so it cannot change your page's styles, and your styles cannot break it. Use it on any site, commercial or not. Please keep the link in the snippet; it is how landlords find the source of the dates.
Where the dates come from
The nine regional windows are the ones in the government's Get ready to register guidance. Our deadline guide lists them with each region's councils, and the regulations status page tracks the approval in Parliament. rentready is general information, not legal advice; see the terms.
Gas, EICR or EPC firm? You may prefer a co-branded checker link to send with your certificates.
