The Fair Housing Act requires a seniors development to "publish and follow policies and procedures that demonstrate an intent to be housing for persons 55 and older". However, does it specifically require that the "55+" designation be stated on the development's website? Our TV Salesperson told us it was a 55+ community.
If it is, and if TV is near the legal age restriction, that would explain why TV would turn away sales
at this time for households not meeting the age criteria, even while having allowing some such sales when TV's age ratio was different.
If TV were not a 55+ community, I don't know why the sales staff would say it is or why TV would turn down sales for households not meeting the age criteria. Would TV even legally be able to turn down <55 age households if it were not?
