PART 5 N.I.Procedures for safeguarding and repaying tenancy deposits

27.—(1) The scheme must make provision for preventing double recovery by a tenant in respect of the whole or part of the deposit, and must in that connection make provision:

(a)for excluding or modifying any requirement imposed by the scheme in accordance with regulation 24; and

(b)for requiring the repayment of amounts paid to the tenant by the scheme administrator.

(2) In this regulation “double recovery”, in relation to an amount of a tenancy deposit, means recovering that amount both from the scheme administrator and from the landlord.
