What if damage is caused during entry?
(1) A resident of a rooming house may apply to the Tribunal for an order for compensation if, when the rooming house operator, or that person's agent, exercises a right of entry under section 136 any person causes damage to or loss of the resident's goods in the room.
(2) If an application is made under subsection (1), the Tribunal—
(a) may make an order for payment of any compensation that it thinks fit if it is satisfied that damage was caused to the resident's goods in the room; or
(b) may refuse to make an order.
