This is a new provision. This section sets out the general duties of the database operator to enable the effective running of the database. These are in addition to those established throughout the chapter.
Example: A tenant identifying a property that is not registered on the database
								A tenant living in the private rented sector hears about the PRS Database and reviews it to search for their landlord. However, they cannot find an entry for their landlord or for the dwelling they are renting. They report this on the database via a form made available by the database operator. The relevant local housing authority receives a notification about this and is able to follow up with the tenant and with the landlord to edit the database accordingly, and to take enforcement action if they deem appropriate.
