51Claiming uncollected goods

51 Claiming uncollected goods (1) A person who is entitled to possession of uncollected goods of a former occupant of a retirement village may claim the goods at any time before they are destroyed, sold or otherwise dealt with under this division. (2) If the operator of the village is satisfied, on reasonable grounds, that the person claiming the uncollected goods is entitled to them, the operator must deliver up the goods to the person, free of any charge (other than a removal or storage charge). (3) The operator may require payment of any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in removing or storing the goods before delivering the goods to the person. (4) However, if the claim is for some but not all of the goods and the remaining goods are of sufficient value to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of removing or storing all the goods, the operator must deliver the claimed goods to the person without requiring payment for removal or storage.
