Therefore, we want to hear from council officers directly on what they want to see as mandatory data to be captured as part of a future PRS database. As this is a FOI request, I recognise that it is not mandatory for this question to be answered. However, I would be most grateful if an answer can be provided by council officers. Thank you for your assistance. Yours faithfully, Daniel CarrollPolicy OfficerNational Residential Landlords Association
