These regulations will allow the Secretary of State to set out the process and requirements for creating entries on the database. Regulations will be needed from time to time over the life of the database to accommodate changes in property standards and safety requirements, as well as advances in technology, which may also necessitate small tweaks to policy. As well as personal information about the landlord and dwelling, prescribed information will include the details of any other persons involved in the ownership or management of the property, as well as information and evidence relating to property standards. In the immediate term, the government expects this will include documents such as gas safety certificates and Electrical Installation Condition Reports.
	The government intends to make regulations for section 77 via the affirmative procedure.
