What is retirement housing?

Retirement housing is housing that is for occupation by people over retirement age, usually 55 or 60, which is set out in the lease. A retirement scheme may consist of blocks of flats or cottages/bungalows, and sometimes both types of properties, which are often referred to as mixed schemes. In almost all cases there will be an alarm call system and most schemes will have a resident or visiting scheme manager.

Age restriction applies

At present, there is no legislation limiting or preventing landlords of retirement properties from applying age restrictions to their tenancies. It must be noted that such properties are built specifically for people who require assisted living and it is often viewed that it will be contrary to the ethos and purposes of the community living within the development if other people are allowed to live there.
