If my community wants to make a rule to bar families with children under 18 from renting and buying can we just make our own rule and enforce it?
No! There are requirements for a community to be considered “housing for older persons, such as (A) the housing is specifically designed and operated to assist elderly persons and is intended for, and solely occupied by, person 62 years of age or older or (B) the housing is intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older and meet the following requirements: (1) At least 80% of the occupied units are occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older. (2)The facility or community publishes and adheres to policies and procedures that demonstrate its intent to in fact be a provider of housing for older persons. (3)The facility or community complies with rules established by HUD for verification of occupancy. (4) Because a community that is claiming 55+ is asking to be exempted from the Florida Fair Housing Act status, as it pertains to familial status, and the Florida Legislature requires these commlunities to register with FCHR by sending a certified letter
