The exemption for housing for older persons applies when the occupant age threshold is at least what?

• A. 60
• B. 62
• C. 65
• D. 70

Answer: (B)

The key point is how the Fair Housing Act defines an exemption for housing intended for older persons. The minimum age that qualifies a property for this exemption is 62 years old. That means if the occupant age threshold is at least 62, the housing can be exempt from certain FHA requirements, provided other conditions are met. (Note: after the Housing for Older Persons Act, housing designated for 55+ with 80% of units having at least one resident aged 55 or older also qualifies, but the standard age threshold being tested here is 62.)
