 === '''1. Security Deposits''' ===
-A landlord cannot require or accept a security deposit in respect of a manufactured home site tenancy. If a landlord accepts a security deposit from a tenant, the tenant may deduct the amount of the security deposit from rent or otherwise recover the amount (MHPTA, s 17). Security deposits held by landlords before the effective date of the MHPTA may be retained until the end of the tenancy. As the MHPTA was assented to in Nov. 2002, this would only apply in long-standing tenancies as of the time of writing (2019).
+A landlord cannot require or accept a security deposit in respect of a manufactured home site tenancy. If a landlord accepts a security deposit from a tenant, the tenant may deduct the amount of the security deposit from rent or otherwise recover the amount (MHPTA, s 17). If a security deposit was collected before the MHPTA became effective in November 2002, it may be retained until the end of tenancy.
 A landlord who does not return or file a claim against the deposit at the end of tenancy could be required to pay the tenant double the amount of the deposit.
