[Landlord’s or agent’s name and address]
Dear …
Re: Listing on database
On [date] I applied for a tenancy at [address] and was rejected.
I suspect that I was rejected due to being listed on a tenant database. If this is true, then your agency is required under section 211 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 to write to me within 7 days and provide the following details:
- confirmation that I am listed
- the details of the landlord/agent who listed me
- how to contact the database operator to find out what information it holds about me
- how and in what circumstances I can have the information removed or amended.
Please provide this information to me as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
[T Tenant]
