17
+ **Is your rental ready for England's landlord database?**
18
+
19
+ From 15 December 2026 every private landlord in England must register each property on the government's
20
+ "Register your rental property" service (Renters' Rights Act 2025), region by region, at **£65 per property per year**,
21
+ uploading the gas safety record, EICR and EPC. Without an active entry there is no possession order from the court,
22
+ and penalties run to £7,000 (£40,000 for a repeat). `rentready` tells you your region's window and deadline, whether
23
+ your certificates will still be in date, what to book, what to upload and what it costs. Zero dependencies, one file,
24
+ also an MCP server and a Claude Code plugin, so your own agent can run it.
25
+
26
+ **No install: check in your browser at https://genzagents.github.io/rentready/** (0.7.0: now with the registration pack). Add your properties or
27
+ paste a CSV, see every property's window, deadline and certificate state, then download one `.ics` with every date and
28
+ reminder. It runs `docs/rentready.js`, a line-for-line port of the Python that `tests/test_web.py` holds to identical
29
+ answers and an identical calendar on five dates; the only network call is the postcode lookup at postcodes.io, and
30
+ your list stays in your browser.
31
+
32
+ ```bash
33
+ curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/genzagents/rentready/main/rentready/__init__.py | python3 - check "B3 2TA" --gas=2026-02-01 --eicr=2023-06-01 --epc=2017-05-01 --epc-rating=D
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ ```
37
+ rentready 0.3.0 B3 2TA region: West Midlands
38
+ Window: requirement starts 2026-12-15, deadline 2027-03-14 (139 days from 2026-10-26); the service opens for everyone on 2026-12-15
39
+ PASS registration deadline: West Midlands requirement starts 2026-12-15, deadline 2027-03-14; you can register from 2026-12-15
40
+ WARN gas safety record: expires 2027-02-01, before the 2027-03-14 deadline (98 days)
41
+ PASS EICR: valid to 2028-06-01

+ PASS EPC: valid to 2027-05-01
43
+ INFO EPC rating: rating D meets today's E minimum; the proposed C minimum for new tenancies from 2028 and all tenancies from 2030 would not be met
44
+ Do next:
45
+ - Book before 2027-02-01: annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe engineer; upload the record and issue date
46
+ Fee: £65 a year (65 per property); renewal annual, on the anniversary of the first property registered (one date for the whole portfolio); later properties pay pro rata
47
+ Upload at registration (within 28 days of the entry):
48
+ - Latest gas safety record (CP12) and its issue date, if the property has gas
49
+ - EICR (or EIC if no EICR yet) and its expiry date
50
+ - Latest EPC, and any MEES exemption; if the EPC has lapsed, the start date of the current tenancy
51
+ READY: nothing expires before your deadline. Gather the details above and register when your window opens.

72
+
73
+ ## Install
74
+
75
+ ```bash
76
+ pip install git+https://github.com/genzagents/rentready # or copy rentready/__init__.py anywhere
77
+ rentready regions
78
+ rentready check "SW1A 1AA" --no-gas --eicr=2024-01-01 --epc=2020-01-01 --properties=3 --json
79
+ ```
80
+
81
+ Exit code 0 when nothing fails, 1 otherwise, so it works in a cron or a CI step.
82
+
83
+ ### A whole portfolio from one CSV (0.2.0)
84
+
85
+ ```bash
86
+ rentready portfolio properties.csv # one line per property, every FAIL/WARN, total fee, earliest deadline
87
+ rentready portfolio properties.csv --json
88
+ ```
89
+
90
+ `properties.csv` has a header row with any of `name, postcode, gas, no_gas, eicr, epc, epc_rating, tenancy_start, region`
91
+ (common spellings like `Address`, `Post Code`, `Gas safety`, `Rating` are accepted; a JSON list of objects works too):
92
+
93
+ ```csv
94
+ name,postcode,gas,no_gas,eicr,epc,epc_rating
95
+ 12 Example St,B3 2TA,2026-02-01,,2023-06-01,2017-05-01,D
96
+ Flat 4,SW1A 1AA,,yes,2024-01-01,2020-01-01,C
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ ### Dates in your calendar, with reminders (0.2.0)
100
+
101
+ ```bash
102
+ rentready calendar properties.csv --out=rentready.ics # whole portfolio
103
+ rentready calendar "B3 2TA" --gas=2026-02-01 --eicr=2023-06-01 --epc=2017-05-01 --out=rentready.ics
104
+ rentready calendar properties.csv --reminders=90,30,7 > rentready.ics
105
+ ```
106
+
107
+ One all-day event per dated thing: the day your region's window opens, the registration deadline, and each gas safety,
108
+ EICR and EPC expiry, each with reminders 60 and 14 days before (change with `--reminders`). Import the file into Google,
109
+ Apple or Outlook calendar; UIDs are deterministic, so re-importing after a renewal updates the events instead of duplicating them.
110
+ This is the free, serverless version of the monthly watch: nothing is stored anywhere but your own calendar.
111
+
112
+ ### The registration pack (0.5.0; in the browser from 0.7.0)
113
+
114
+ ```bash
115
+ rentready pack properties.csv --out=pack.md # add --organisation for a company or trust
116
+ ```
117
+
118
+ No terminal? On https://genzagents.github.io/rentready/ press **Show my registration pack** after a check: the same pack
119
+ (docs/rentready.js, parity-tested against pack.py), printable or saved as `registration-pack.md` for your agent. Extra
120
+ columns pasted in the CSV are kept with your list in the browser.
121
+
122
+ Every question *Register your rental property* asks, in the service's own words (gov.uk "Get ready to register", Oct 2026):
123
+ you as the landlord once, then per property the dwelling, tenancy, rent and health-and-safety sections. Answers come
124
+ pre-filled from the CSV, a GATHER line marks each gap, and the pack tells you which columns to add to fill them
125
+ (`ownership, dwelling_type, bedrooms, let, occupants, households, licence, furnished, rent, rent_frequency, bills`,
126
+ optional `freeholder, manager`). Each certificate gets a file name to scan it as (`12-example-st_eicr_2023-06-01.pdf`) and
127
+ a state: READY, RENEW SOON (expires before your deadline), RENEW (lapsed: renew before you upload) or GATHER. A lapsed EPC
128
+ is accepted with the current tenancy's start date, and an F or G rating adds the MEES exemption question. A property is
129
+ **ready to register** only when every answer and file is in hand. Nothing registers for you: you start the entry with
130
+ GOV.UK One Login.
131
+
132
+ ### Watch
133
+
134
+ A certificate that lapses in month four is the thing nobody notices until the deadline. The watch is the alarm, and it
135
+ runs for free as a GitHub Action in a private repo of yours that holds `properties.csv`: on the first of every month it
136
+ re-checks every property, keeps one issue up to date with the full table, and **comments on that issue only when
137
+ something needs action**: a gas safety record, EICR or EPC within 60 days of expiring, your region's window opening,
138
+ a deadline nearing or passing, or a property no longer ready. GitHub emails the comment to you. No server, no account
139
+ beyond GitHub, no dependencies; your dates never leave your repo except for the postcode lookup. Example:
140
+ [issue #1](https://github.com/genzagents/rentready/issues/1) watches [`docs/example.csv`](docs/example.csv).
141
+
142
+ Copy [`docs/watch.yml`](docs/watch.yml) to `.github/workflows/rentready-watch.yml`:
143
+
144
+ ```yaml
145
+ on:
146
+ schedule: [{ cron: "23 7 1 * *" }] # the 1st of each month
147
+ workflow_dispatch:
148
+ push: { paths: [properties.csv] }
149
+ permissions: { issues: write, contents: read }
150
+ jobs:
151
+ watch:
152
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
153
+ steps:
154
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v4
155
+ - uses: genzagents/rentready@v0.7.0
156
+ with:
157
+ portfolio: properties.csv
158
+ # warn-days: 90
159
+ # always-comment: "true" # a monthly "all fine" email too
160
+ ```
161
+
162
+ The same command runs from cron on your own machine with a local state file instead of an issue:
163
+
164
+ ```bash
165
+ rentready watch properties.csv --state=rentready-state.json # exit 1 when something needs action
166
+ ```
167
+
168
+ ### As an MCP server / Claude Code plugin
169
+
170
+ ```bash
171
+ claude plugin marketplace add genzagents/marketplace
172
+ claude plugin install rentready@genzagents
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ Or add to any MCP client: `python3 /path/to/rentready/__init__.py mcp` (stdio). Four tools: `check_property`, `check_portfolio` (CSV or JSON text in, one table out), `make_calendar` (returns the .ics text for one property or a portfolio) and `registration_pack` (the markdown checklist above).
176
+
177
+ ## What it checks
178
+
179
+ - Region from the postcode (postcodes.io, no key; `--region=` to skip the lookup). Wales and Scotland are flagged out of scope.
180
+ - Registration window and deadline for that region; whether it is open, upcoming or missed.
181
+ - Gas safety record (annual), EICR (five-yearly), EPC (ten-yearly): valid at the deadline, expiring before it, expired, or missing.
182
+ - EPC rating against the current E minimum and the proposed C minimum.
183
+ - The fee for N properties, the renewal rule, the full list of details the service asks for, and the penalties.
184
+
185
+ ### Hosted monthly watch (0.4.0)
186
+
187
+ The paid step for landlords who do not want a GitHub repo: pay once a year, paste your properties into the checkout,
188
+ and get the same alerts in your inbox. The runner is in this repo and needs no server:
189
+
190
+ ```bash
191
+ rentready hosted run --dry-run # polls Polar for subscribers, prints every email it would send
192
+ rentready hosted run # sends through Resend: first report within the hour, alerts on change, a monthly digest
193
+ rentready hosted replay ~/.rentready-hosted/<id>.json # re-runs a stored report from its stored inputs: IDENTICAL or DIFFERENT
194
+ ```
195
+
196
+ Every email is reproducible from the inputs and date stored beside it. Setup and prices: [docs/HOSTED.md](docs/HOSTED.md).
197
+ Letting agents can run it for their landlords from a file with `--subscribers=subs.json`, no payment provider needed.
198
+
199
+ ## What it does not do
200
+
201
+ It does not register for you, fetch certificates, or hold any data. It never sends your dates anywhere; the only network call
202
+ is the postcode lookup. Not legal advice.
203
+
204
+ ## Roadmap
205
+
206
+ `rentready calendar` puts every date in your calendar and `rentready watch` emails you from GitHub when something needs action, both free. The hosted monthly watch (no repo, no CSV to keep, the same alerts to your inbox) is the
207
+ paid step, £12 a year for up to 10 properties; the runner shipped in 0.4.0 and the checkout opens when payments are set up. EPC lookup by address from the official open-data register is next (the register's API moved to get-energy-performance-data.communities.gov.uk in 2026 and needs a free key). Press the button on the [project page](https://genzagents.github.io/rentready/) if you want it.

+ **Is your rental ready for England's landlord database?**
4
+
5
+ From 15 December 2026 every private landlord in England must register each property on the government's
6
+ "Register your rental property" service (Renters' Rights Act 2025), region by region, at **£65 per property per year**,
7
+ uploading the gas safety record, EICR and EPC. Without an active entry there is no possession order from the court,
8
+ and penalties run to £7,000 (£40,000 for a repeat). `rentready` tells you your region's window and deadline, whether
9
+ your certificates will still be in date, what to book, what to upload and what it costs. Zero dependencies, one file,
10
+ also an MCP server and a Claude Code plugin, so your own agent can run it.
11
+
12
+ **No install: check in your browser at https://genzagents.github.io/rentready/** (0.7.0: now with the registration pack). Add your properties or
13
+ paste a CSV, see every property's window, deadline and certificate state, then download one `.ics` with every date and
14
+ reminder. It runs `docs/rentready.js`, a line-for-line port of the Python that `tests/test_web.py` holds to identical
15
+ answers and an identical calendar on five dates; the only network call is the postcode lookup at postcodes.io, and
16
+ your list stays in your browser.

65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ Exit code 0 when nothing fails, 1 otherwise, so it works in a cron or a CI step.
68

69
+ ### A whole portfolio from one CSV (0.2.0)
70
+
71
+ ```bash
72
+ rentready portfolio properties.csv # one line per property, every FAIL/WARN, total fee, earliest deadline
73
+ rentready portfolio properties.csv --json
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ `properties.csv` has a header row with any of `name, postcode, gas, no_gas, eicr, epc, epc_rating, tenancy_start, region`
77
+ (common spellings like `Address`, `Post Code`, `Gas safety`, `Rating` are accepted; a JSON list of objects works too):
78
+
79
+ ```csv
80

89
+ rentready calendar "B3 2TA" --gas=2026-02-01 --eicr=2023-06-01 --epc=2017-05-01 --out=rentready.ics
90
+ rentready calendar properties.csv --reminders=90,30,7 > rentready.ics
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ One all-day event per dated thing: the day your region's window opens, the registration deadline, and each gas safety,
94
+ EICR and EPC expiry, each with reminders 60 and 14 days before (change with `--reminders`). Import the file into Google,
95
+ Apple or Outlook calendar; UIDs are deterministic, so re-importing after a renewal updates the events instead of duplicating them.
96

+ No terminal? On https://genzagents.github.io/rentready/ press **Show my registration pack** after a check: the same pack
105
+ (docs/rentready.js, parity-tested against pack.py), printable or saved as `registration-pack.md` for your agent. Extra
106
+ columns pasted in the CSV are kept with your list in the browser.
107
+
108
+ Every question *Register your rental property* asks, in the service's own words (gov.uk "Get ready to register", Oct 2026):
109
+ you as the landlord once, then per property the dwelling, tenancy, rent and health-and-safety sections. Answers come
110
+ pre-filled from the CSV, a GATHER line marks each gap, and the pack tells you which columns to add to fill them
111
+ (`ownership, dwelling_type, bedrooms, let, occupants, households, licence, furnished, rent, rent_frequency, bills`,
112
+ optional `freeholder, manager`). Each certificate gets a file name to scan it as (`12-example-st_eicr_2023-06-01.pdf`) and
113
+ a state: READY, RENEW SOON (expires before your deadline), RENEW (lapsed: renew before you upload) or GATHER. A lapsed EPC
114
+ is accepted with the current tenancy's start date, and an F or G rating adds the MEES exemption question. A property is
115
+ **ready to register** only when every answer and file is in hand. Nothing registers for you: you start the entry with
116
+ GOV.UK One Login.
117
+
118
+ ### Watch
119
+
120
+ A certificate that lapses in month four is the thing nobody notices until the deadline. The watch is the alarm, and it
121
+ runs for free as a GitHub Action in a private repo of yours that holds `properties.csv`: on the first of every month it
122
+ re-checks every property, keeps one issue up to date with the full table, and **comments on that issue only when
123
+ something needs action**: a gas safety record, EICR or EPC within 60 days of expiring, your region's window opening,
124
+ a deadline nearing or passing, or a property no longer ready. GitHub emails the comment to you. No server, no account
125
+ beyond GitHub, no dependencies; your dates never leave your repo except for the postcode lookup. Example:
126
+ [issue #1](https://github.com/genzagents/rentready/issues/1) watches [`docs/example.csv`](docs/example.csv).
127
+
128
+ Copy [`docs/watch.yml`](docs/watch.yml) to `.github/workflows/rentready-watch.yml`:
129
+
130
+ ```yaml
131
+ on:
132
+ schedule: [{ cron: "23 7 1 * *" }] # the 1st of each month
133
+ workflow_dispatch:
134
+ push: { paths: [properties.csv] }
135
+ permissions: { issues: write, contents: read }
136
+ jobs:
137
+ watch:
138
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
139
+ steps:
140
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v4
141
+ - uses: genzagents/rentready@v0.7.0
142
+ with:
143
+ portfolio: properties.csv
144
+ # warn-days: 90
145
+ # always-comment: "true" # a monthly "all fine" email too
146
+ ```
147
+
148
+ The same command runs from cron on your own machine with a local state file instead of an issue:
149
+
150
+ ```bash
151
+ rentready watch properties.csv --state=rentready-state.json # exit 1 when something needs action
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ ### As an MCP server / Claude Code plugin
155
+
156
+ ```bash
157
+ claude plugin marketplace add genzagents/marketplace
158
+ claude plugin install rentready@genzagents
159
+ ```
160
+
161
+ Or add to any MCP client: `python3 /path/to/rentready/__init__.py mcp` (stdio). Four tools: `check_property`, `check_portfolio` (CSV or JSON text in, one table out), `make_calendar` (returns the .ics text for one property or a portfolio) and `registration_pack` (the markdown checklist above).
162
+
163
+ ## What it checks
164
+
165
+ - Region from the postcode (postcodes.io, no key; `--region=` to skip the lookup). Wales and Scotland are flagged out of scope.
166
+ - Registration window and deadline for that region; whether it is open, upcoming or missed.
167
+ - Gas safety record (annual), EICR (five-yearly), EPC (ten-yearly): valid at the deadline, expiring before it, expired, or missing.
168
+ - EPC rating against the current E minimum and the proposed C minimum.
169
+ - The fee for N properties, the renewal rule, the full list of details the service asks for, and the penalties.
170
+
171
+ ### Hosted monthly watch (0.4.0)
172
+
173
+ The paid step for landlords who do not want a GitHub repo: pay once a year, paste your properties into the checkout,
174
+ and get the same alerts in your inbox. The runner is in this repo and needs no server:
175
+
176
+ ```bash
177
+ rentready hosted run --dry-run # polls Polar for subscribers, prints every email it would send
178
+ rentready hosted run # sends through Resend: first report within the hour, alerts on change, a monthly digest
179
+ rentready hosted replay ~/.rentready-hosted/<id>.json # re-runs a stored report from its stored inputs: IDENTICAL or DIFFERENT
180
+ ```
181
+
182
+ Every email is reproducible from the inputs and date stored beside it. Setup and prices: [docs/HOSTED.md](docs/HOSTED.md).
183
+ Letting agents can run it for their landlords from a file with `--subscribers=subs.json`, no payment provider needed.
184
+
185
+ ## What it does not do
186
+
187
+ It does not register for you, fetch certificates, or hold any data. It never sends your dates anywhere; the only network call
188
+ is the postcode lookup. Not legal advice.
189
+
190
+ ## Roadmap
191
+
192
+ `rentready calendar` puts every date in your calendar and `rentready watch` emails you from GitHub when something needs action, both free. The hosted monthly watch (no repo, no CSV to keep, the same alerts to your inbox) is the
193
+ paid step, £12 a year for up to 10 properties; the runner shipped in 0.4.0 and the checkout opens when payments are set up. EPC lookup by address from the official open-data register is next (the register's API moved to get-energy-performance-data.communities.gov.uk in 2026 and needs a free key). Press the button on the [project page](https://genzagents.github.io/rentready/) if you want it.
