Please don't yell at me. That is how I feel.

I share your concern, Gracie. I have been thinking about the 80/20 rule since this thread started. I decided to do some checking.
The law allows up to 20% of the units to be occupied (not owned) by non-qualifying persons for any reason. If more than 20% of the units are occupied by non-qualifying persons (“good” reasons do not matter) the
exemption may be lost and law suits could result on the basis of discrimination against families.
A census could be required in order to determine if the 20% has been exceeded.
I tend to agree with those posters who feel it is unlikely we will ever see the 20% exceeded. I would hope the District is keeping some sort of score to assure we never reach that position.
By the way, has anyone heard of a 55 plus community losing their exemption?
