Fair Housing
An Oklahoma apartment complex advertises '55+ Community — Adults Only.' Under the Fair Housing Act, this is:
AAlways illegal under any circumstances
BPermissible if the community qualifies as housing for older persons under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), meaning 80% of occupied units have at least one person 55 or older and it follows published policies demonstrating intent to be 55+ housing✓ Correct
COnly legal in communities of more than 500 units
DLegal only with OREC approval
Explanation
The Fair Housing Act exempts legitimate 55+ housing communities from familial status requirements if they comply with HOPA: at least 80% of occupied units have one resident 55+, they publish and follow policies demonstrating intent to be 55+ housing, and register with HUD.
