Section 13: Recovery of prohibited rent by tenant
This section allows tenants (or person acting on behalf of a tenant) under a regulated lease who have paid prohibited rent that has not been refunded to apply to the appropriate tribunal for a recovery order.
	A recovery order is an order requiring the repayment of any of the prohibited rent that has not already been refunded by any of the following:
the landlord of the lease at the time the prohibited rent was paid,
the landlord of the lease at the time the application is made,
a person acting on behalf of one of the above where the payment was paid to that person.
	The prohibited rent must be repaid within 28 days after the order has been made (subsection (3)).
	Subsection (5) provides that where multiple payments of prohibited rent have been made and not refunded, the enforcement authority can make a single recovery order in respect of all of those payments.
	Subsection (6) means that the appropriate tribunal must not make a recovery order if an enforcement authority has already ordered the recovery of the prohibited rent under section 10.
	Nothing in this section prevents a person recovering monies owed under contractual remedies in the general law (subsection (7)).
