Amendment 225, also tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Best, would introduce two important provisions. First, it would allow letting agents to upload data on behalf of landlords, recognising the practical reality that many landlords delegate day-to-day management to their agents. Secondly, it would require the database to include a portal for landlords to identify whether their properties fall under the local licensing scheme and, if so, to apply directly. This would move the database from being a passive record-keeping tool to an active driver of compliance.
