(a) make reasonable efforts to contact the former
resident about the property; and
(b) store the property safely for at least
28 days, unless it is reclaimed before that time.
(3) If, at the end of 28
days, the property has not been reclaimed, the provider must give it to the
public trustee.
(4) However, if the lost property is money and has not been
reclaimed after 28 days, the provider may deduct any outstanding amount owed
by the former resident under the rooming accommodation agreement before giving
the remainder to the public trustee.
