I've been here for eight years and am continually amazed at the people that still misunderstand this rule. It is not that 20% can be under 55. The law states that in order to be recognized as an over 55 community at least 80% of the homes must be occupied by at least one person over the age of 55. Under this rule, mathematically, 80% or more of the residents could be under the age of 55.
The problem presented here is that there is also a rule, (I don't know if it's a federal law or a Villages rule), that no one under the age of 19 may live here permanently.
In any case, if you know about this and object to it, you should report it.
A problem in this case may be that the individual may be turning 19 in the near future so a complaint and action would only be temporary.
