Are Landlords Listed On 192 Or Tenants?

[MDWCT2018]

Do you have to live at the property to be on the electoral roll eg tenant or be the landlord?

Can the Landlord rent the property out, but still be registered on the electoral directory for it even though they might not live there?

It should only be the people who live at the address listed on the electoral roll, but you can't rely on 192 for accurate information. If the landlord used to live at that address he might still be on 192 even for the current year if he moved out a few months ago before the tenants moved in.
Of course some landlords live in the same property as their tenants so then both will be on the electoral roll.

Don't forget a lot of people 'tick the box' so their details will never be listed on 192 and similar sites.

As Hc4361 indicates, only a minority of people are listed on 192.com. Most people aren't these days. That's because most people now take up the option to have their names omitted from the edited register.

All residents in a property (who're eligible to vote) are legally obliged to ensure that their name appears on the full version of the electoral register (which can only be consulted, in person, at local council offices, with strict rules about the way that it's used). A non-resident landlord's name should not appear on the electoral register. (It would be a criminal offence to include his name on it for a property that he doesn't occupy).

A person needs to reside at an address with a “considerable degree of permanence” in order for their name to be included on the electoral register for that area:
