The bodies which represent the residents and the providers respectively disagree over whether the law - as it stands - is fair.
Retirement Village Residents Association national president Peter Carr said the contracts absolutely needed to be reworked.
But Retirement Villages Association chief executive John Collyns disagreed with that. There are some aspects of the law which we think could be addressed, but by and large, we think the law is fair, Collyns said. It balances operators responsibilities with residents rights.

A resident who took Camden Council to court over proposed cycle lanes in Haverstock Hill has hailed the town hall’s withdrawal of the scheme as a “big victory”.
Amit Shah, who lives in Haverstock Hill himself, said he was “absolutely delighted” at the council’s decision to remove the project s experimental traffic order. He called for a “proper” consultation on future plans.
The town hall pulled out of the divisive scheme on Thursday due to what it called a “minor technical error” and said it would look again at the proposals.
In addition to health concerns, the 38-year-old, who is currently working two jobs including night shifts for a supermarket, expressed fears over the scheme’s impact to local traders, who have opposed the scheme.
“There’s a great sense of injustice from the local community and people living here where this is just imposed on you without even talking about it,” he said.
“I’m not saying for one minute that we shouldn’t have more cycling, what I’m saying is let s do this in a way that benefits the community.”
The bike lanes will run along both sides Haverstock Hill between Prince of Wales Road and Pond Street.
