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. (a) (Page 2)
“(ii) Permitted Healthcare Resident: A person hired to provide live-in, longterm, or terminal healthcare to a Senior Citizen or a family member of the Senior Citizen providing that care.”
The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604(b)) prohibits familial-status discrimination against families with children—including adult-only rental age floors, 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.
