Certain resorts are intended, operated, and maintained for the occupancy, use and benefit of persons 55 years of age or older.

OCCUPANCY AND STORAGE ARRANGEMENTS

Certain resorts only permit guests to occupy their site for 6 or 7 months per year, and require them to vacate the community for the remaining months of the year, while allowing them to keep their RV or home on site, or may otherwise restrict a guest's stay to no more than 6 or 7 months. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as 6&6 or 7&5 arrangements. At these applicable resorts, the grandfathered 7&5 and 6&6 payment plan year begins on your move in anniversary date of each year. The 6 or 7 months of occupancy may occur between your anniversary dates of each year. Unused time may not be carried over and will not be refunded.

Extended occupancy time beyond 6 or 7 months, as applicable, will be charged additional market rate.
