Retirement Village Contracts & Leases

We understand buying into a retirement village can be a complicated and daunting process. It is important to obtain expert legal advice so that you properly understand the nature of the Contract or Lease you are entering into, your rights and obligations under this agreement and your legal interest (if any) in the property. There are several types of occupancy and ownership arrangements in retirement villages, with the most common being:

• Leasehold Agreement

• Loan or Licence Agreement

• Strata or Community Scheme

• Company Title Scheme

• Rental Agreement

A written contract must be in place between a resident and the village operator before they move into the village unless the resident is moving in with an existing resident or signing a residential tenancy agreement under the residential tenancy laws.

At Lambton Law, we will review the Retirement Village Contract or Lease, explain and provide advice in relation to the Contract or Lease, assist you in executing the agreement and liaise with all relevant parties.
