Read the rule again folks. It is possible and legal, though extremely unlikely, for over 80% of the residents here to be under 55.

20% of the occupied units must be occupied by at least one person over the age of 55. That's what the law says.

Here's an example. You have 100, three bedroom units with six people living in each unit. In twenty of the units all six people are under the age of 55. In each of the other 80 units you have one person over the age of 55 and five people under the age of 55.

That gives you 600 residents 80 who are over 55 and 520 who are under 55. That's 87% of the residents under the age of 55. That would be perfectly legal under the law.

If you had all four bedroom units, the percentage of under 55ers could be even higher.

As I said, this is highly unlikely, but it demonstrates what the law says.
