I don't know how a law could be made regarding age restricted communities and then the law forbidding a developer to ascertain or keep records of the ages of the residents. If the law requires that 80% of all homes in The Villages be occupied by at a least one person over the age of 55 then I'm sure that the law would require that some sort of records be kept in order to ensure that we are in compliance with the law.

Where did you get your information that they are not allowed to ask your age or keep records? While that might be the case outside of age restricted communities, it seems highly unlikely that it is the case in age restricted communities.

As far as resales go, every resident has to be registered for amenities and I.D. cards. I'm sure that The Villages has a record or almost every person living here including their age.

Don't forget, under the law, 80% or more of the residents could be under the age of 55 and still live here legally.




Jim. You are right until the last sentence. It is 20%
