A retirement village resident who left her place three months ago due to constant traffic has been told she will forfeit $95,095 for 16 months’ occupation, and…

absolutely cooked. so she pays 95k to live in a noisy box for 16 months? and they keep the money? what a rort
same shit different day. these places are all about profit not care
ffs this is why retirement villages are a fucking scam. preying on old people who just want some peace. should be illegal
my gran was looking at one of these places… now I'm gonna tell her to run. that's insane money for a shitty experience
it's in the contract she signed though. gotta read the fine print. still, 95k is rough as guts
yeah but they basically force u into signing waivers. my granddad didn't even get a copy of his contract before moving in

yea but you'd expect some basic livability. 95k loss is criminal
poor lady. imagine paying that much and still having to listen to traffic all day. villages need better soundproofing or something
facts. my nana signed up and they upsold her on everything. ended up paying double what she expected
yeah soundproofing is expensive but maybe don't build next to a main road then? poor planning
happened to my auntie too. they take your money and don't care. govt needs to step in and regulate this shit
that's really sad. she just wanted a quiet retirement and got screwed over. hope she gets the money back somehow
agree. it's not like she left for no reason. traffic noise is a valid complaint
you reckon they'll return the full amount? no chance lol
heard about this on the radio. disgusting behaviour from these companies. they rely on people not reading contracts
yeah nah that's stuffed. 95k for 16 months of noise? nah mate that's a joke
should be able to get out without losing everything if the place is unliveable. common sense
