bonnej,

All permanent residents have to be over 18 yrs old...so, Mr Floyd would have been legal. This is an age restricted community where one owner (i.e. name on the title) is supposed to be 55+. But, even here, there is a legal 20% exception....up to 20% of the homes can be exclusively owned by someone under 55. Bear in mind the difference between owner, resident, and guest. I don't believe there are any restrictions on the ages of your guests (or renters)...other than ones under 18 can't stay for more than 30 days within a calendar year.

The rec centers I go to always check IDs. I have not witnessed an ID check in my local adult pool for some time, though. I wish the rec dept would increase the ID checks to cut back on outsiders poaching our pools and facilities.

But, as others have commented, this is an annoyance but not a major calamity.
