Refunds
What comes back from the entrance fee when you leave or die, and when it is paid.

4% of the entrance fee is non-refundable and the refund falls a further 1.6% of the fee for each calendar month (part months count as full), so nothing is refunded after 60 months. Any refund on move-out or death is paid only once the unit has been reserved by a new resident who has paid their entrance fee, with no interest.
