  • First, it should be noted that both the terms “Condominium” and “Life Lease” describe the financial vehicle whereby a resident occupies a living space such as a bungalow, two story, apartment style, town home, etc. etc.

    Neither the “Condominium” or “Life Lease” financial structures are superior to the other. Both have advantages and disadvantages, depending on your life’s circumstances.

    Both are similar in that they allow for relatively carefree occupancy, and allow you to simply “lock the door” and go away for awhile, and not worry about your premises.

    They’re different in that ownership of a condominium means you own your suite and a share of the common area used by everyone.

    As a condo owner you will have voting rights in the corporation, and you may choose to be elected to the board. You actually own real estate which can rise or fall in value depending on current markets.

    The “owner” or occupant of a life lease does not own their living space or the common areas, but in fact own the Life Lease. This lease is assignable and can be past on to someone or sold on MLS or back to the developers.

    A couple of tenant representatives may attend, and be an influence at board meetings, but the board has final decision making authority.

    In fact the tenants of a life lease may not be members of the board. A life lease residents exposure to the volatile real estate market is minimized, although not completely eliminated.

    A refund fund facilitates a full refund of the resident’s entrance fee should they decide to move out.

    Beneficiaries of your estate usually find the life lease model very easy to deal with.

    With 90 days notice, they simply assign the unit to the board (owner) and 100% of the entrance fee is refunded.

    A typical life lease resident is 55+, prefers to live with people that share a similar interest, enjoys having many amenities in the building, and no longer cares for the real estate equity risk that home ownership would entail.
