Housing-55 & Older Communities — Florida Commission on Human Relations

The brief summary is:
Housing for Older Persons Requirements

Federal Register 24 CFR Part 100; section 760.24-760.37 (4a), Florida Statutes

For a community to be considered "housing for older persons" as a 55+ community, the housing must be intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older and meet the following requirements:

At least 80% of the occupied units are occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older.

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.

The facility or community complies with rules established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for verification of occupancy.

And my bet is that the Admin Office of TV knows the birthday and date of anyone who has applied for their Villagers ID!

Bingo!

Essentially if a community complies with these guidelines and remains in compliance it is allowed to practice age discrimination otherwise countrary to federal laws prohibiting housing discrimination of any kind.

It is a piece of cake for TV to monitor its compliance through it's amenities ID system.
