Occupancy or amenity restriction discriminates based on familial status / disability or imposes an overbroad age restriction under the Fair Housing Act and HOPA.
Operative Clause · Sec. 6 (Page 8)
“Do not drop weights. If you can’t set the weights down quietly, don’t pick them up. 7. Children under the age of 12 are not permitted.”
The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604(b)) prohibits familial-status discrimination against families with children—including adult-only rental age floors (e.g., 24+), mandatory hourly pool exclusions targeting all minors under 18, blanket Common Area parental-escort rules for children, and caps on grandchildren—unless the community actively qualifies as 55+ Housing for Older Persons under 42 U.S.C. § 3607(b)(2) and 24 C.F.R. §§ 100.304–100.307 (which regulates occupancy rather than fee-simple title ownership and does not authorize intrusive medical/disability disclosures for live-in caregivers under 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)).
