132

132.—(1) On application by the landlord or tenant of a dwelling, the Board shall, on being supplied by the landlord or tenant with such information as it may require for the purpose of confirming the identity of the applicant concerned, provide to him or her a copy of the entry in respect of that dwelling in the register.

(2) On application by a person who is not the landlord or tenant of a particular dwelling, the Board shall provide to him or her a copy of the entry in respect of that dwelling in the published register (but not the entry in the register).

(3) A fee of such amount as the Board determines to be reasonable may be charged in respect of the provision of a copy of an entry under subsection (1) or (2).

(4) A copy of an entry in the register or the published register purporting to be certified by an officer of the Board as being a true copy of that entry shall, without proof of that person's authority to so certify the copy, of any signature of the person appearing on the copy or that he or she is or was an officer of the Board, be received in evidence in any proceedings and shall be presumed to be such a copy unless the contrary is shown.

(5) Evidence that any particular matter in respect of a dwelling stood registered in the register on a particular date may be given by the production of a copy of the entry in respect of that dwelling under subsection (4) and which copy bears that date beside, or as part of, the certification mentioned in that subsection.
