14A Residence contracts and service contracts to comply with prescribed requirements
In this section —
village contract means —
a residence contract; or
a service contract.
The regulations may provide for provisions or matters that must be included, or provisions or matters that must not be included, in village contracts or in village contracts of a specified kind.
A person must not enter into a village contract with a resident or a prospective resident unless the village contract, otherwise than because of the operation of subsection (3) or (4), complies with any regulations made for the purposes of subsection (1).
Penalty for this subsection:a fine of $20 000.
If regulations made for the purposes of subsection (1) provide that village contracts or village contracts of a specified kind must contain a provision in the terms specified in those regulations, a village contract to which those regulations apply that does not include a provision in the specified terms is to be taken to include that provision.
If regulations made for the purposes of subsection (1) provide that any provision or matter must not be included in village contracts or village contracts of a specified kind, a village contract to which those regulations apply that includes any provision or matter contrary to those regulations is void to the extent of the provision or matter.
The regulations may provide that section 6(2) does not have effect in relation to any specified regulations, or any specified provisions of regulations, made for the purposes of subsection (1).
