131: Corporation may borrow
or “The government's housing group used to be allowed to borrow money, but this rule was changed.”
You could also call this:

“Money in the Residential Tenancies Trust Account can't be taken without the boss's okay.”

You cannot take money from the Residential Tenancies Trust Account through legal processes like garnishment or other forms of execution. This means that no one can force the account to pay out money through court orders or similar legal actions. If someone wants to get money from this account through these methods, they need to get written permission from the chief executive first.
