The requirements set out under this section are similar to some of those provided for by the power of entry under paragraph 23 (power to enter premises without warrant) of Schedule 5 (Investigatory Powers) to the Consumer Rights Act 2015. The main distinction is that these requirements relate to a power of entry to premises suspected of being subject to residential tenancies, as opposed to business premises as is the case in the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
