Ms Rosalind Carroll:

Therefore, it is implicit that the receiver must go ahead and do the maintenance. What cannot be provided for legally, even if there is a change in legislation, is the issue of deposit, which comes up a lot, because the deposit was paid to the landlord. It is never paid to the receiver and, therefore, the tenant will never be able to get back his or her deposit. The only person from which the tenant can get his or her deposit back is the landlord. We cannot retrospectively change that within the legislative framework.
