Under the Department of Housing and Urban Development 24 CFR Part 100 Implemention of the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995; Final Rule
Section 100.307
Article (a) In order for a housing facility or community to qualify as housing for persons 55 years of age or older, it must be able to produce verification of compliance with 100.305 through reliable surveys and affidavits.
The Villages can't make up their own rules on this law.

This document doesn't really appear to be applicable to the Villages..
Surely by now we all know there are ways around most anything...

305;
There continues to be confusion
concerning what is often referred to as
the 80/20 split. HOPA states that the
minimum standard to obtain housing for
persons who are 55 years of age or older
status is that ‘‘at least 80%’’ of the
occupied units be occupied by persons
55 years or older. There is no
requirement that the remaining 20% of
the occupied units be occupied by
persons under the age of 55, nor is there
a requirement that those units be used
only for persons where at least one
member of the household is 55 years of
age or older. Communities may decline
to permit any persons under the age of
55, may require that 100% of the units
have at least one occupant who is 55
years of age or older, may permit up to
20% of the occupied units to be
occupied by persons who are younger
than 55 years of age, or set whatever
requirements they wish, as long as ‘‘at
least 80%’’ of the occupied units are
occupied by one person 55 years of age
or older, and so long as such
requirements are not inconsistent with
the overall intent to be housing for older
persons.
