Portadown landlord FAQs
Is NI Landlord Registration required for a rental property in Portadown?
Yes. NI Landlord Registration is mandatory for all private landlords in Northern Ireland. You must register at landlordregistrationni.gov.uk before advertising or letting any property. Registration lasts 3 years and must be renewed. Unregistered landlords can face enforcement action from the council. Tenants can also check the register to verify that their landlord is registered.
Does the Renters' Rights Act 2025 apply in Portadown?
No. The Renters' Rights Act 2025 (which abolished Section 21 and new fixed-term tenancies in England from 1 May 2026) applies only in England. Tenancies in Portadown and across Northern Ireland are governed by the Private Tenancies (NI) Order 2006 (PT(NI)O 2006). Northern Ireland retains fixed-term tenancies and its own notice-to-quit framework. The Section 21 abolition does not apply in NI.
