This is a new provision. Section 78 introduces a requirement for entries to be kept up-to-date so as to ensure that entries in the database are accurate, contain valid information and that evidence relating to housing standards can be consistently monitored.
Example: Keeping entries up to date
								The regulations may cover a scenario in which a landlord with an active dwelling entry on the database receives a new gas safety certificate for that dwelling. The gas safety certificate currently on the database is now out of date and must be replaced with the new certificate in order for the landlord to keep the dwelling entry up-to-date. The landlord would be required to upload the new certificate and can do so free of charge.
