I was always under the impression you had to be 55 to live here. I also know just one has to be 55. My question is can the villages sell or rent homes in the villages to anyone under 40? Solve the bet here please.
Thanks

It confuses me as well. There is a house on my street that is owned by a man in his early 70's however, he lives in Iowa and his grandson is living in the house full time. He can't be any older than maybe 30 and he's been there almost 2 years now. Apparently this is allowed because the owner is over 55. I don't get it either.

Next door to him there was an elderly couple renting their house. They had their granddaughter, her husband and 5 kids (!!!) all under the age of 10 living there. She home schooled the kids. Finally, the Deed Restriction people chased them out but to where? Another house in TV where they are all living! How do they get away with it?

In an Adult Community you have a 80/20 age rule with 20% under the age of 55. Is this enforced and who enforces it???? I have no clue but my guess would be that this is what I would call "pretty loose"----somebody would need to keep the data updated. Of course, no person on a permanent basis under 19 years of age is more easily enforced. Most believe, including me, TV is not even close to the 20% under age 55.

Anybody that has a TV ID card is required to give their date of birth, therefore TV would have an up to the minute head count of those under 55 vs those 55 and over.

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.

My understanding is that the villages sell/rent 10 percent of the homes to people 50 and over. Kids who go to school are only allowed to stay 30 days. As far as the elderly gentleman who has two men staying in his house, I am not sure how that works..

This document doesn't really appear to be applicable to the Villages..

Surely by now we all know there are ways around most anything...

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.

Just rules in general can be enforced but are not required to be enforced and since there are no numbers available how would anyone know? (Per enforcement on deed restrictions the developer has the option to enforce rules but is not required to do so) Possibly a freedom of information request could be made but this issue is not an issue for me. Personally I am for all the younger people possible after the children are grown. Can only help property values and improve other amenities. No reason to exclude anyone based on their age alone.

Under the law I quoted above, paragraph (i) states "A summary of occupancy surveys shall be available for inspection upon reasonable notice and request by any person. (Approved by the Office of Management and Budget under control number 2529-0046)".

It should not take a freedom of information request to obtain this information.

And I was so happy thinking that this was an over 55 community. I like my grown up peers. Not that I don't like younger people, but I could have moved anywhere and had a mix.

There is a general flavor that I love about folks who have lived for at least 55 years.

I am pretty sure that the deed restriction applies to all ownership with the exception of the 80/20 exception. The muddy area seems to be "rentals".

Actually, after further reading, the 55+ rules apply to occupancy not ownership, so the rentals still have to comply. If the occupants are under 55, then they must fall into the 20% bracket and in our community they cannot have children under 19.

Moved here fulltime June 2012--prior to that--used our villa as rental.

You don't have to be 55 to live here. The issue is with the children :mad: ...which I don't mind. My kids are in college (one just graduated). So- life is good. I love it here. Some people ask "Why do YOU want to live here with all these old people"? I just smile and say "Wouldn't you have loved to enjoy this lifestyle in your 30s"?

Again the 80/20 split doesn't mandate 20% of "Young Folks" have to join in this lifestyle.

As far as kids--I have a friend who lives here (they are in there 60s, have a child with special needs residing with them--under 19) ...No issues.

Why does it bother anyone what others do? Too many community :police: driving around without all the knowledge. I actually had a lady tell me at the Savannah Pool--"this pool is for residents". I told her "I am a resident". She grumbled--and soon the Rec Dept was inquiring for my id. Really? I should have just told her I married a really old guy...she probably would have left me alone!

So--enjoy your neighbors. You might have more in common than you think. I have made lots of best friends--20-40 years older than me! I enjoy their company and I think I have found home forever!!!!

According to the rules of the USA. There is no age restrictions because that would be discrmination. Alas all other issues are covenants or restrictions.

The people with the kids would be inviolation of restrictions and the Grandson who staying at the house would in essence be a renter or has free housing. The Renter pass is good for 2-3 years and the owner must sign away their rights. I for one would like all visitors passes to have a charge for them after 30 days.

Wonderful!!! Are they your children? You mentioned your children are physicians.

Wish we had a lovely, lovely place for younger professionals with small children or teens to live here.

You made a very good point.

I have tried so hard to explain that it is lovely living among people who have their children raised and are finished with their careers and have lived for about six decades and had a few very overwhelming things that they have met and lived through. It just is a different expectation and mindset from each decade of our lives. That doesn't mean I don't like younger people and that doesn't mean I don't get along with them.

Oh well. I am tired of explaining. We olders ARE the majority by far here and that is what counts to me. I look into their eyes and they KNOW what I am thinking. Usually.

This forum is getting so mean. I am glad that many of you know me. It hurts being called a busybody, even if I am.

Everyone is made up of the sum total of all the experiences they have had in their lives. They can't not be who they are.

I'm going to start this by saying that I believe in the freedom to associate. I do not believe that the government has a right to tell you who you have to rent to, eat with, live with or associate with. So places where you have to be 55 or 60 or 65 before you can live there are just fine with me.

In his book Leisureville, Blechman says that communities such as TV are "unnatural" because they do not encompass and/or embrace peoples of all ages. I do disagree, and of course people who are buying and living in TV obviously disagree.

However, how many people here who support the right to establish a community where only people of a certain age can live would be very upset if a community was established based on age that excluded blacks or Jews? I'm guessing most of those people would be adamant that such a community should not exist.

So why is it perfectly OK for age-exclusion communities to exist when race or gender-based exclusions would not be acceptable?

I think I can answer your question, Mack... Everyone is going to get old if they live long enough so it's not being exclusionary and they will be able to live here. Not everyone is going to be white, black, Jewish, male, female and so forth at some point in their lifetime. Probably the most exclusionary are the enclaves with restrictions as to whom can enter the areas in which they live. The Villages is open to the public.

The American way. They are in business to make money. We have enough entities that are losing money.

In his book Leisureville, Blechman says that communities such as TV are "unnatural" because they do not encompass and/or embrace peoples of all ages. I do disagree, and of course people who are buying and living in TV obviously disagree.

However, how many people here who support the right to establish a community where only people of a certain age can live would be very upset if a community was established based on age that excluded blacks or Jews? I'm guessing most of those people would be adamant that such a community should not exist.

So why is it perfectly OK for age-exclusion communities to exist when race or gender-based exclusions would not be acceptable?




It is perfectly OK for age-exclusion communities to exist because it is the law. President Clinton signed the Housing for Older Persons Act in 1995.

Likewise, it is against the law to establish a community that excluded blacks or Jews because of the Fair Housing Act Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.

We are a nation of laws and both of these laws must be respected and abided by.

So, you think your young age will give you the advantage when Bunco becomes a contact sport! Well listen up sister, I just polished off my third bottle of Boost and will be ready.

Not talking about "the law". I'm talking about how people view this. Over time I've seen a number of comments in different threads as to why people are "entitled" to live here without being annoyed by young children. I agree. But why is that type of exclusion/discrimination palatable, when separation by race or gender or color of hair would be unpalatable?

I wish I could share your confidence, that "most" would be against it.

Especially when it comes to excluding blacks.

Alas, my personal interaction with many residents...indicates the exact opposite. :(

.

may i suggest that you get out more and interact with a less exclusionary group of residents!?!

the OP was looking to "clear up" the age issue.......up to this point how could he/she/they be anything but confused when nothing more than opinions/interpretations/prdjudices abound.

These type subjects all too often thrive on a life of their own and get way too intellecualized by many.

Whatever the rules were/are or whatever.....is anybody really negatively affected if the numbers don't "balance"? Have more or less than the 80-20? Are enforced or not? I am not.

One cannot argue with the success of TV and the expected continuation of the same after build out. We have been here going on 10 years. We have watched the population more than double in that time. We have watched as national chains of all kinds of businesses set up shop here and continue to do so.

Most of us have seen nothing but appreciation of property values here.

Other than a jabber jaw (not meant to be negative...just descriptive!!!) opportunity....just exactly what is the problem??

I am not aware of anyone being turned away from purchasing a home in TV as long as they have the economic means to do so. Having "economic means" is a relative term----how many of us could purchase in The Hamptons??? or ......well, you can see my point. We are not even close to the 20% of 30 something's in TV. However, my educated guess is most 30 something's prefer a little more "action" after nine o'clock than they could find in TV.
