I own a condo that is in a 55 and over community. I want to rent it to a person who is disabled and 50 yrs. old. I have heard and read in some material, that a person who is disabled is considered “elderly” regardless of age in respect to the 55 or over ruling. Is this true?

In most cases yes I don’t think you should have a problem with it. As long as this 50 yr old person don’t party all the time. LOL
Yes I believe so in my state it may make a difference depending on where you live but I can’t say for sure?
You would have to contact whoever is in charge in your community. But if it was up to me as long as they were 50 and not young partyers it would be fine. It might also be based on the extent of the disabilities. total.partial. whatever.
Yes, I would think so.
It depends on the owners of the condo or apt building. Generally it also depends on the type of disability, if one is on ssdi or odsp or some kind of disability payment.
However if you are going by AARP’s definition of seniors or CARP’s definition fifty plus is defined as a senior.
There is different kinds of senior housing. Some senior housing gets funded in such a way that it can legally restrict its residents only to seniors. But most housing must adhere to far housing code with requires a percentage of all units to be accessible & rented/leased/sold to people with disabilities.
You need to find out the funding source that built the apartment community you live in. You should be able to find out from your building management.
If they are disabled I don’t think anybody would challenge you, I mean not only would that be just morally wrong but also a lawyer could probably take care of any problems you might have with a phone call.
guess it depends on the rules of your community – there are apartment complexes for 55 + that allow a certain percentage of people under 55 – so it may be possible to work this out.
I think that rule is prejudice and should be outlawed especially because the disability community is growing.
I think it is different in all communities. You will need to check with whoever is in charge of your particular association. I see no problem with it as long as they aren’t “party” people. I know in the area where I live, there are apartment complexes that are designated for 55+, but there are younger people who live there with disabilities.
There are exceptions allowed for the impaired.
Been there done that.
In the UK we have Sheltered Housing which is generally for the over 55’s but sometimes people under 55 are allocated a property if they are disabled. You may have to check it out with your Local Authority (UK) or equivalent in USA or elsewhere.
