The official Rent Registration guidance places responsibility for registering a qualifying primary-residence lease on the owner.
The submission should be made within 30 days from the commencement of the lease.
A property manager or authorised representative may assist, but the owner remains responsible for ensuring compliance.
The tenant should ask for confirmation and check that the registered details match the signed agreement.
If the landlord does not register, the tenant should obtain official advice about the available procedure and protections.
Both parties should retain the reference number, registered contract and later amendments or termination records.
