Legal Issues
Meath retirement villas are “sold” on a lease for life basis.  The lease sets out the legal obligations of the resident and Meath Care and covers issues such as:

• the location and boundaries of the leased accommodation and common areas;
• the purchase price of the lease;
• village operating costs, paid either monthly or fortnightly, by the resident to cover items such as administration, property maintenance, insurance, cleaning and rubbish removal;
• the calculation of any deferred management fees (exit fees);

In Western Australia the following three items of legislation serve to protect the interests of residents in retirement villages: 

• Retirement Villages Act 1992;
• Retirement Villages Regulations 1992; and,
• Fair Trading (Retirement Villages Code) Regulations 2009.

Electronic copies of the above legislation are available from the State Law Publisher (WA).
