Requires association of age-restricted common interest community to permit dwelling owner to transfer property without regard to age of buyer.
This bill requires age-restricted community associations (like 55+ or 62+ housing developments) to permit property owners to sell or transfer their homes to buyers of any age, without the association blocking the sale based on the buyer’s age. It mandates that sellers provide a certification confirming the new owner will comply with federal "housing for older persons" rules (requiring 80%+ residents to meet age thresholds), but associations cannot refuse the transfer solely due to the buyer’s age. The Commissioner of Community Affairs can enforce this by penalizing associations that block valid transfers or buyers who allow non-compliant occupancy. It directly affects property owners seeking to sell and community associations managing age-restricted properties.
