Retirement village operators have come under fire from the Commerce Commission for their contract terms.
A dozen retirement operators —including Ryman and Arvida— have been put on notice because their conduct risks breaching the Fair Trading Act.
They run a total of 180 villages across the country.

He says there are concerns around the advertising that lures people into a village, and unfair clauses in the residents' contracts.
