Residents Associations

Picture
Village residents are encouraged to form a local village association if you have not done so. The Code of Practice provides:
Residents’ committee 
Residents have the right to form a residents association and agree their own rules for running their committee
A residents committee is an important part of the management of the retirement village industry.
To assist with this, please find a​ Model Constitution  for you to adapt and adopt
The CFFC is collaborating with the RVRANZ to produce a user-friendly manual for residents wishing to form a residents’ committee.
The RVRANZ  protects the rights of retirement village residents in New Zealand
The focus is on the Retirement Villages Act 2003 and the Retirement Villages Code of Practice 2008.
The Act defines the rights of retirement village residents when they commit to a Occupation Right Agreement with the owner of the retirement village, in which they purchase a licence to occupy a villa, cottage, or apartment.
​It’s important that RVRANZ spokespeople have a genuine mandate to speak on behalf of the resident body, rather than pursuing issues of importance to an individual. 

Moving from Retirement Village Unit to Rest Home Care

Buying into a retirement village and later transferring into a rest home can pose financial fishhooks which buyers should get full disclosure about, warns the watchdog on retirement villages.
"Buyers should get this information including terms of transfer for short and long-term rest home care before buying an independent unit in a retirement village", Troy Churton, national manager retirement villages, for the Commission for Financial Capability, said.
