Also not true. Lots of people believe that, but there is a process that takes place. I know this because I just recently looked into how TV insures that we do not go below 80%.

At least 80% of the homes must be occupied by at least one person 55 or older in order to qualify as an "age restricted community". I am not sure how that is monitored, but I would be willing to bet my 401K that we are not even close to 20% being occupied by under 55 couples or families. Yes there are a few and I have met a couple but there are over 50,000 homes in TV and there are NOT 10,000 that have no one over 55.

Those that wish to do some reading, search for information on the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). You can see for yourself that many if the things that you have heard are not accurate.

There are actually just shy of 62,000 homes in The Villages. While I am not positive, I believe they can monitor ages via The Villages ID cards. I also know several couples under 55 and I agree that it is very unlikely that we are anywhere close to 20% under 55.

Although I agree with eweissenbach and I'm sure it's fine, I'm curious how TV monitors the 80% rule on new houses and resales.

So, tell me, who's regulating this 80/20 rule? |

For anyone who wishes to know the FACTS re 55+ Communities rules, regs, statutes, law, and much more - here's the site for you"
Housing-55 & Older Communities — Florida Commission on Human Relations The brief summary is: Housing for Older Persons Requirements Federal Register 24 CFR Part 100; section 760.24-760.37 (4a), Florida Statutes For a community to be considered "housing for older persons" as a 55+ community, the housing must be intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older and meet the following requirements: At least 80% of the occupied units are occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older. The facility or community publishes and adheres to policies and procedures that demonstrate its intent to in fact be a provider of housing for older persons. The facility or community complies with rules established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for verification of occupancy. And my bet is that the Admin Office of TV knows the birthday and date of anyone who has applied for their Villagers ID!

Essentially if a community complies with these guidelines and remains in compliance it is allowed to practice age discrimination otherwise countrary to federal laws prohibiting housing discrimination of any kind. It is a piece of cake for TV to monitor its compliance through it's amenities ID system.

Yes, of course they care. If the community goes below 80%, we lose our 55+ designation and can never get it back. It is monitored, and currently we are about 93%. All sales are reviewed by 'The Developer', including resales. |

I don't want to talk about "loser kids." I was quoting another poster. Furthermore, are you saying even re-sales are reviewed by the developer? Really?

Wow! So many experts..all with conflicting information.

All who live here supposedly have resident or guest I.D.s, right? I think you have to provide a birth date info to obtain an I.D. So District.gov should know who lives here and how old they are (provided they have a way to correct their data when someone passes on).

I asked about this because I know that lots of 55+ communities (for example high rise condo buildings) control to 100% 55+. They have a process for approving all sales. So, there must be a process here to ensure that we do not fall below 80%. |
