Retirement Villages Act 1992

An operator must, within 7 days after the day on which a resident enters into occupation of residential premises under a residence contract —

prepare a report describing the condition of the premises; and

provide 2 copies of the report to the resident.

A resident given copies of a report under subsection (1)(b) who disagrees with any information in the report must, within 7 days after the day on which the resident receives the copies —

mark a copy in a manner that shows the information with which the resident disagrees; and

give the copy back to the operator.

If the resident does not give a copy of the report back to the operator under subsection (2), the resident is taken to accept the contents of the report as a true and accurate description of the condition of the residential premises.

An operator must, as soon as practicable, and in any event within 14 days, after the day on which a resident permanently vacates residential premises in a retirement village —

conduct an inspection of the residential premises; and

prepare a final report describing the condition of the premises; and

provide a copy of the report to the resident.

The resident must be given a reasonable opportunity to be present at the inspection conducted under subsection (4)(a).

The regulations may prescribe information that must be included in a property condition report under subsection (1) or (4).
