Continental Country Club

Restricted

The community is for persons 55 years of age or older, requiring at least one resident/occupant in each home to be 55 or older, with other residents a minimum of 45 years, and specific rules to maintain the community's age-restricted exemption.

“Continental Country Club is a community whose purpose is to provide housing for persons fifty-five years of age or older. Its facilities and policies are generally designated for those who are fifty-five (55) years of age or older. One resident/occupant in each manufactured home must be fifty-five (55) years of age or older; other resident shall be a minimum of forty-five (45) years. Provided, however, if at the time a new resident applies for admission eighty percent (80%) or more of the Community's occupied homes are occupied by at least one person fifty-five (55) years of age or older, the Community may reduce its minimum age requirement for the new resident to forty-five (45) years. All new residents shall produce verified evidence of the resident's age. Copies will be made of each new resident's driver's licence or other verified evidence of age. It is the intent of this rule to maintain the Community's exemption under the Fair Housing Amendments of 1988 and the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995. In no event will Country Club permit a new resident's admission if occupancy by the new resident will result in less than eight percent (80%) of the Community's homes being occupied by one or more persons fifty-five (55) years of age or older. Country Club maintains the right to make reasonable accommodations for the handicapped and to consider hardship exceptions.”
