Actually, there is No Precedent in Law. Both the HUD and Florida HOPA speak only to the 80% requirement for a 55+ community. There is no stipulation by either to the other 20% occupancy. The tradition has been to establish allowed occupancy of the 20% with Recorded Deed Restrictions and sometimes only Community Rules. Deed Restrictions can at most times be legally enforced but usually only with some type of Lien against the property. Community Rules however are typically viewed as weak. There is also the Fair Housing Act which is very strong in legal precedent. In summary, it is a hard and expensive issue to litigate.
