Notes

The Scheme operator reserves the right at any time to vary the financial options available to new residents of the village.

The total ingoing contribution paid under a Pay As You Go is made up of a Bond Amount (which is refundable on exit) and an Ongoing Weekly Instalment Amount (rent) which represents an ongoing instalment contribution to the ingoing contribution.

The Bond Amount is not a bond for the purposes of the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 (Qld).

Capital Gain has the same meaning as the ‘Capital Gain’ in the sublease i.e. the amount by which the ingoing contribution paid by a New Resident exceeds the ingoing contribution paid by the Resident under this Lease.

Capital Loss has the same meaning as the ‘Capital Loss’ in the sublease i.e. the amount by which the ingoing contribution exceeds the ingoing contribution paid by a New Resident.
