I move amendment No. 33:

In page 35, between lines 35 and 36, to insert the following:

“31. (1) Receivers appointed to mortgaged properties and lenders who have initiated repossession proceedings are regarded as the landlord in relation to existing tenancies.

(2) Where appointed, the receiver of the property shall be under the same tenancy obligations as landlords as specified in Part 2 of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004 and associated regulations.

(3) Where appointed, a receiver of the property shall be responsible for promptly refunding the tenancy deposit, subject to conditions in section 12(4) of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004.”.
