Children

California Associations are subject to the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and Unruh Act (“Unruh”). Unruh prohibits age discrimination. FHA prohibits familial status discrimination. “Familial status” discrimination is discrimination against a minor who resides with a parent, legal guardian, or person having authorized custody of the child. Qualified senior communities are generally exempted from these prohibitions. Use restrictions and rules should be scrutinized to ensure they do not discriminate against children in content or application.
