Failure to meet the Certification, means the community looses it's right to "discriminate" against children (as well as some other benefits).
For many years, I *believe* the certification has been a fairly casual, common sense certification ... "we only sell homes to people over 55".
Just an anecdotal observation, but I suspect the current mix is probably about 92/08, so it's not even close to becoming a legal issue with HUD ... & therefore, not an issue that merits attention by the powers that be.

"We only sell homes to people over 55" ???
What is your source for that rule? As I understand it, anyone can buy a house in The Villages. The age restriction only applies to residents, not owners.
