Tribunal may terminate residence contract if resident causes serious damage or injury
62 Tribunal may terminate residence contract if resident causes serious damage or injury
The Tribunal may, on application by the operator of a retirement village, make an order terminating a residence contract if the Tribunal is satisfied that the resident has intentionally or recklessly caused or permitted, or is likely intentionally or recklessly to cause or permit —
serious damage to the residential premises; or
injury to the operator or an employee of the operator or any other resident.
If the Tribunal makes an order terminating a residence contract under this section, the Tribunal —
must fix in the order a date by which the resident must vacate the residential premises occupied by the resident; and
may make such other orders (including an order that the resident pay compensation to the operator or that the operator pay to the resident compensation for the resident’s loss of rights under the contract) as the Tribunal thinks fit.
An application under this section may be made whether or not the operator has given notice of intention to terminate the residence contract.
