Section 83 places local housing authorities under a duty to make an entry in the database in respect of a) a relevant banning order, b) a relevant banning order offence, or c) a financial penalty in relation to a relevant banning order offence imposed by that authority. This duty only applies if the period for appealing against any order, conviction, or penalty has expired and any such appeal has been finally determined, withdrawn or abandoned. This is to replace the similar function on the existing Database of Rogue Landlords and Property Agents, under the HPA 2016. A further power is given to local housing authorities to make entries in respect of a person who has received a conviction or financial penalty in relation to a relevant banning order offence imposed by person other than a local housing authority.
	The section also grants the Secretary of State the power to make regulations which impose a duty on local housing authorities to make entries in respect of persons that have received a financial penalty or a conviction where proceedings were commenced by a person other than a local authority. This provides for banning order offence entries to be made on the database in respect of offences a local housing authority does not themselves enforce. The regulations may also require local housing authorities to request information from other persons to facilitate the making of an entry. This section also gives the Secretary of State the power to make regulations which would permit or require database entries in respect of other offences or regulatory action and the offence occurred when the person was a residential landlord or marketing a property with the intention of creating a residential tenancy.
	Detail is also provided, within the section, on the information that must and may form part of an entry in the database made under this section.
Example: Banning order offence information
								A local housing authority contacts a relevant agency which enforces banning order offences. The relevant agency provides the local housing authority with offence information about residential landlords who have been convicted or received a financial penalty for a banning order offence. The local housing authority then makes entries on the database in relation to the banning order offence information it has received from the other agency, including all the information required as set out by regulations.
