Let’s Talk A Bit About Discrimination

A long time ago condo rules and regulations were built for each individual building. Some of those buildings included an age restriction on who could live in them. But then entered the anti-discrimination act in real estate... and those rules are no longer allowed, however, they still exist in many condo documents.

The ByLaws never got changed. There are still many buildings in the city that are primarily 55+, however, if you are 20 years old and decide that you love a unit in one and want to buy into it, you can. You would have to file an appeal, but you would win, because under the anti-discrimination act, they are not allowed to discriminate against you based on your age.

I would love to know what you think. Do you think that some buildings should be allowed to stay in an older community, where the same demographic may appreciate the same things (quiet, hallway walking, etc) or do you think multiple generations should mingle more?
