Research note
The linked PDF is labelled 'Summary of Key Terms' (correct as at 31/12/2023), found via the village's Eldernet listing, not a full 'Disclosure Statement' document, the summary itself says 'For full details refer to the disclosure statement and occupation right agreement for this village,' but no direct link to the full disclosure statement was found on the website or Eldernet. Settlers Albany website has no dedicated fees/pricing page; the FAQ page confirms refund/termination terms but defers DMF%, weekly fee specifics to 'call us' / the Disclosure Statement.
