Land-lease living on the Peninsula

Buying a home and renting its site is not the same arrangement as a retirement-village contract.

Start with the right agreement

Victorian residential-park site agreements can sit under Part 4A of the Residential Tenancies Act. Ask for the current site agreement and disclosure, site rent, permitted increases, transfer and sale rules, exit charges and every amount attached to the particular home. Do not assume all communities use one fee model or one minimum age.
