The RVRANZ – has been formed to promote and protect 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.
The purpose is
to have residents’ views and requirements taken seriously
to highlight anomalies and injustices in the Act
to identify and point out anomalies and injustices in the way the Act is interpreted.
