‘Tenure’ is the term used to describe the different types of contractual arrangements that are offered in retirement living. All forms of tenure are controlled by NSW legislation outlined in the NSW Retirement Villages Act. 

M by Montefiore offers a loan lease contract. This is a contract whereby Montefiore owns each residence and the resident enters into the loan lease agreement entitling them to exclusive occupation of the premises for the length of the tenancy. This type of agreement gives security of tenure, provided the tenant can continue to live independently.

Fees vary depending on the number of bedrooms in the residence.
