A Lifetime Occupancy Agreement is a specialized legal document used primarily in Australian retirement villages, aged care facilities, and similar residential settings. This agreement type grants residents the right to occupy a property for the duration of their life, subject to specific conditions and obligations. The document is essential when establishing long-term residential arrangements that differ from standard residential tenancies, particularly in retirement living contexts. It must comply with Australian federal and state legislation, including retirement village laws, consumer protection, and property law. The agreement typically includes comprehensive details about financial arrangements, services provided, maintenance responsibilities, and exit provisions. A Lifetime Occupancy Agreement is particularly important for protecting both the resident's right to long-term security of tenure and the property owner's interests in maintaining the property and ensuring proper management.
