Section 11 – Private Rented Housing Panel: information to be given to a local authority
18.To further help local authorities identify unregistered landlords, section 11 of the Act amends the 2006 Act by inserting new section 22A which requires the Private Rented Housing Panel to pass onto the local authority details about the landlord and property, which must include the landlord registration number if known and details of any agent the panel knows is acting on the landlord’s behalf. This requirement arises where an application is made to the panel by a tenant relating to the repairing standard.
