Cohousing-L Mailing List: San Diego Urban CoHousing meeting Sunday Feb 19 3 pm

[Jim Swenson (swensonian]

Stephania,
We wish you great success with your gathering on Sunday.  We’ve been at it for 
4 years and are about to cross the finish line.

One caution that came up to bite us about half-way through the game: you need 
to be aware and careful of the requirements of the 
Federal Fair Housing Act of 1968 and 1988 amendments (FHA). There are often 
local fair housing laws, as well.  

The bottom line is that you cannot advertise for an age restricted population 
(eg. 30+) unless it is within two specific allowances in the 
Fair Housing Act - namely at 55+community or a 62+ community.  And you have to 
declare which one you are.  Not doing so can result
 in a discrimination suite or fine for “discrimination against families with 
children.”  We went with a 55+designation which only 
requires that 80% of the housing units must have one person living there who is 
55 or over.  So grandmother with grandchild is acceptable.

Here’s a link to the guide for landlords in California. The law applies to 
sellers of condos as well.
