Section 114 gives a local housing authority the power to require certain people (defined as a "relevant person" in subsection (2)) to provide information to the local housing authority for the purposes set out in the section. This power will apply in respect of specific people, including landlords, licensors and letting agents connected with the accommodation in question.
	The local housing authority must request the information by written notice and the notice must set out the potential consequences of not providing the information requested. A person will not be required to provide information which they could refuse to produce on grounds of legal professional privilege in proceedings before the High Court.
