A life lease is a legal agreement that permits its purchaser to occupy a dwelling unit for life in exchange for a partially or wholly recoverable lump-sum payment as well as a monthly payment to cover maintenance & operating costs. This report was written in an effort to remove some of the uncertainty & lack of knowledge about life lease housing, a new housing option for seniors that has been emerging over the past 20 years. The report describes life lease housing & how it operates in Canada; discusses the regulatory perspectives, policies, & plans of the five provinces where life lease housing is currently available; describes the views of some development consultants about consumer protection issues; and identifies consumer protection issues that are of interest to governments & consumers.

Discussions in the report are based on surveys of sponsors, development consultants, & provincial governments, and a copy of the survey questionnaire is appended.

Any suggestion that the Essex force had been misogynistic or corrupt in dealing with rape cases at the time could alienate her colleagues and destroy her chances of reaching the truth. Yet she knows that a cold-blooded killer is slowly being backed into a corner, and a cornered predator is often the most dangerous of all...
