The Act legislates for a Private Rented Sector Database, which will support the new PRS Database service. Landlords will be required to sign up and register all properties they let out, and the Act provides for local authorities to be able to take enforcement action against landlords who do not meet their obligations to register their properties. The Act provides for an Operator of the database, who will be the Secretary of State or an organisation appointed by the Secretary of State. The Act provides for regulations which will set out further details about how the database will be operated and overseen, what information will be collected and made public, and details about how renewals will work.
