How is it that a development can be made for older people, with a restriction of ownership only over a certain age? I would guess it would be highly illegal to do the opposite- no one over a certain age allowed ownership.

What brought this up in discussion was some people (we don't know) live in a similar community and their children died, leaving them their grandchildren to raise. That community now, as I understand, has to give them a waiver, and other community members are fussing about it, not wanting to give it.

That's interesting. Never thought of that. I assume that a "no old folks allowed" development has never been tried. I just don't think it would have much market demand. NOW, a trendy "young people only" condo/apartment development in the right area could certainly be appealing.harrierdoc said:

And that seems wrong to me. Both should be legal.Red Pear Realty said:
Age discrimination against old people is illegal.
Age discrimination against young people (in the context of housing) is perfectly legal.

you can't selectively enforce your deed restrictions and expect to keep them valid.
It's a crappy situation, but rules are rules.
