Section 16 amends Article 36(5)(a) of the Private Tenancies (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 to make it clear that the purpose of a “notice of refusal” is to inform a landlord of a district council’s refusal to issue a certificate of fitness and the reasons for refusal. This corrects a drafting error in the 2006 Order.
