Retirement village finances can seem complicated, but most of what residents need to know comes down to a few key ideas. This simple Guide explains who manages the money, what residents vote on, and how the village budget works. It is intended as information for residents who are not members of the Residents Committee or the Finance Subcommittee – these residents need a more detailed knowledge of the legislation. Most residents only need to know the basics about village finances to make an informed vote.

We’ve tried to make this Guide as user-friendly as possible, but if you feel the urge to delve deeper, we have supplied links to support and advice at the end."
