I'm aware that there's a law about the 80% rule, I just haven't seen a specific law about requiring all Deed Restricted communities to have it being tracked. I can't imagine that any of the many smaller condo complexes in Florida with 200 units or less have the financial resources to constantly track the demographics of every unit.

Not all deed restricted communities, all 55+ communities that don't allow children. In order to legally refuse to have children as permanent residents the community has to show that they are abiding by the HoPA rules.

A smaller condo complex in Florida with 200 units or less can be sued for discrimination in housing if they refuse to allow a family with children to live there UNLESS they can prove, through the HoPA rules, that they are a 55+ community. Those rules require certifying that at least one resident is over 55 in 80% or more of occupied units.
