Private Rented Housing: Databases

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to help ensure that estate agents and landlords have an opportunity to shape the Private Rented Sector database.

Answer

Letting agents will be able to support landlords with the registration of their properties on the PRS Database, providing certain property information on their behalf.
