If the contract-holder under an occupation contract pays a deposit (or another person pays a deposit on his or her behalf), the deposit must be dealt with in accordance with an authorised deposit scheme.
Before the end of the period of 30 days starting with the day on which the deposit is paid, the landlord must—
(a) comply with the initial requirements of an authorised deposit scheme, and
(b) give the contract-holder (and any person who has paid the deposit on his or her behalf) the required information.
The required information is such information as may be prescribed relating to—
(a) the authorised deposit scheme which applies,
(b) the landlord's compliance with the initial requirements of the scheme, and
(c) the operation of this Chapter, including the contract-holder's rights (and the rights of any person who has paid the deposit on his or her behalf) in relation to the deposit.
This section is a fundamental provision which is incorporated as a term of all occupation contracts; section 20 provides that this section—
(a) must be incorporated, and
(b) must not be incorporated with modifications.
