This is a new provision. Section 90 introduces a restriction on the ability of the court to grant an order for possession of a dwelling-house if the residential landlord does not have an active landlord and dwelling registration in the database. The aim of this section is to encourage landlords to register on the database by restricting possession for non-compliance.
