Section 34: Orders

Immigration Act 2014 · 2014 c. 22View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 3: Access to services etc — CHAPTER 1: Residential tenancies

An order prescribing requirements for the purposes of this Chapter may, in particular, require a landlord or agent to—

obtain a document of a prescribed description from relevant occupiers , a DVS-registered person or a DVS-registered person of a prescribed description before or during the course of a residential tenancy agreement;
obtain one document of each of a number of prescribed descriptions from relevant occupiers , a DVS-registered person or a DVS-registered person of a prescribed description before or during the course of a residential tenancy agreement;
take steps to verify, retain, copy or record the content of a document obtained in accordance with the order , including steps involving the use of services provided by a DVS-registered person or a DVS-registered person of a prescribed description;
take such other steps before or during the course of a residential tenancy agreement as the order may specify.

An order prescribing requirements for the purposes of this Chapter which contains provision described in subsection (1)(a) or (b) may, in particular—

prescribe a document generated by a DVS-registered person or a DVS-registered person of a prescribed description;
prescribe a document which was provided to such a person in order to generate such a document.

In subsections (1) and (1A), "DVS-registered person" means a person who is registered in the DVS register maintained under Part 2 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 ("the DVS register").

An order prescribing requirements for the purposes of this Chapter which prescribes a description of DVS-registered person may do so by, for example, describing a DVS-registered person whose entry in the DVS register includes a note relating to prescribed services (see section 36 of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025).

If the draft of an instrument containing an order under or in connection with this Chapter would, apart from this subsection, be a hybrid instrument for the purposes of the standing orders of either House of Parliament, it is to proceed in that House as if it were not a hybrid instrument.
