How the “Lease for Life” Works

Choosing a “Lease for Life” with Retirees WA means purchasing the lease at market value, granting you the exclusive right to occupy the unit and use all common facilities (if applicable). The lease ends when the last occupying resident vacates the unit. Unlike traditional home ownership, the land title does not transfer to you.

Financial Details and Costs

During occupancy, residents are responsible for the following costs:

• Monthly Maintenance Fee: This covers common village expenses such as administration, pest control, building insurance, utilities for common areas, gardening, rubbish removal, and maintenance. The fee is reviewed annually.
• Utility Charges: Residents pay for their unit’s water, electricity, gas, telephone, and other service charges.
• Insurance: Retirees WA insures the unit and the original fixtures but you must insure your personal belongings. 

Maintenance and Responsibilities

As a resident, you are responsible for maintaining and repairing your unit only from the back fence to the outside of the front door. Retirees WA ensures that common areas are well-kept, covering these costs through the village maintenance account. This means you can enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle, focusing on what matters most to you.

Understanding the Outgoing Refund

When the lease ends, the outgoing refund is calculated by deducting certain fees from the new resident’s ingoing payment:

• Deferred Management Fee (DMF): 2.5% of the subsequent resident’s ingoing payment per year, capped at 25%.
• Major Refit Contribution (Sinking Fund): 1% of the subsequent resident’s ingoing payment per year, capped at 10%.
• Additional Costs: Including outstanding maintenance fees, water usage, selling fees, settlement fees, and refurbishment costs.

The outgoing resident or their estate receives the payment within 7 business days after the subsequent resident pays for the lease.
