128 Tribunal may deal with dispute about security deposit (1) A resident may apply to the Tribunal for the return of some or all of the money paid as a security deposit and the return of the interest to which the resident is entitled under section 129: (a) after the resident has received a notice from the operator under section 127(6); or

Caravan Parks Act 2012 76 (b) if the resident has not received notice under section 127(6) within 7 business days after the resident gave up possession of the agreement property or, in the opinion of the operator, apparently abandoned the agreement property. (2) Despite section 127(6), the Tribunal may permit an operator to retain an amount of a security deposit for a loss specified in section 127(4)(d), (e), (f) or (g), although the operator has not given the resident a notice under section 127(6) in relation to that loss, if the Tribunal is satisfied the circumstances of the failure to give the notice are such that the operator ought, despite the failure, be permitted to retain such an amount.
