38B. Maintenance charges-former non-owner residents



(1) The liability of a former non-owner resident of premises in a retirement
village for maintenance charges that arise on or after the time at which the
former non-owner resident ceased to occupy the premises, ceases on-

   (a)  the date on which another person enters into a management contract
        with the manager for the premises; or

   (b)  the date on which a person takes up residence in the premises with the
        consent of the manager; or

   (c)  the date that is 6 months after the date on which the former non-owner
        resident otherwise delivers up vacant possession of the premises-

whichever date occurs first, or any earlier date that the former non-owner
resident and the manager may agree on.

(2) Subsection (1) does not apply if the contract under which the non-owner
resident pays maintenance charges provides for an earlier cessation of
liability for the payment of maintenance charges.

(3) In this section former non-owner resident, in relation to a retirement
village, means a person who was a resident of the village but who has ceased
to be such a resident.
