Restricts occupancy of dwelling unit in age-restricted community to older adults following resale.
This bill requires that when a dwelling unit in an age-restricted community (like a retirement community) is resold, the new owner must certify that the unit will be occupied by someone meeting federal "housing for older persons" standards (typically age 55+). It clarifies that "resale" includes foreclosure, tax, or bankruptcy sales, not just standard purchases. The law directly affects owners selling units in these communities and the communities themselves, ensuring they maintain their legal status under federal fair housing law. This prevents units from being occupied by non-older adults even if sold for affordable housing purposes.
