Does anyone know if there is a "minimum age" for a Lifestyle visit?

[Ooper]

Not sure now, but we had our LSV when we were each 49.

Our friends went at 45, no one asked their age

Do not think they can ask your age.

Just remember that these visits are used for people who have an interest in
learning about TV with a possible move here. The customer needs to meet the requirements of living in TV....over 55 or under 55 and no child living with them under the age of 19.

I was 55 when we did first LSV, don't remember whether DH was. I do remember that our TV sales agent told us that many visitors buy a couple of years after their first visit.

Of course, many also buy as soon as they experience this wonderful place, whether they had planned to or not.

People under age 55 can live here as long as the under-55 population does not exceed 20%. It's federal law, to avoid age discrimination.

Plus, TV benefits when good workers, not yet retired, come here to work and live.

"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."
