Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

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.

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.

Both landlords and letting agents have been extensively involved throughout the Databases digital design process to help shape many aspects of its user interface in order to maximise the user-friendliness of this functionality.
