Sunscape Estates Rv Park Cooperative

What Sunscape Estates Rv Park Cooperative's governing documents say

Sunscape Estates RV Park Cooperative is a 55+ age-restricted RV park cooperative in Cactus Forest, AZ. This document is the community's age restriction policy, which applies to all owners, renters, and guests. The policy is designed to meet the 'Housing for Older Persons Act' (HOPA) exemption, requiring that at least 80% of occupied units have a resident aged 55 or older. It is a partial document covering only age rules, not the full cooperative rules or lot use regulations.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one occupant per unit must be 55 years of age or older. No person under age 19 may reside in the community. Persons 19 or older may live there only if a 55+ qualified person also resides in the same unit. These restrictions apply to owners, renters, and house guests, even when the age-qualified occupant is absent.
• Guest policy: Persons under age 19 may visit as guests for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year. House guests of an absentee owner or renter must include at least one age-qualified person.
• Exceptions: Two exceptions allow non-qualified occupants: (a) a non-age-qualified spouse/partner of a former age-qualified occupant who no longer lives there, and (b) heirs who inherit the unit upon the death of the age-qualified occupants, provided all occupants are 19+ and the 80% age-qualified requirement is maintained. No other exceptions.
• 80% occupancy rule: To maintain HOPA exemption, at least 80% of occupied units must have at least one age-qualified person. The community's policy is to keep that percentage as close to 100% as possible, not to allow 20% non-qualified occupancy as a right.
• Verification & surveys: All occupants must sign an age verification form with birth dates. The association conducts occupancy surveys at least every two years to verify age compliance. Survey information is kept confidential and separate from general resident files.
• Disclosure & enforcement: Sellers and renters must disclose the 55+ age restriction in advertisements, purchase/rental documents, and rental agreements. 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' signs must display '55+ Adult Park'. The association may enforce the policy with fines and legal remedies against the owner for non-compliance by anyone occupying the unit.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only the age restriction policy, not the full governing documents (e.g., CC&Rs, bylaws). It does not cover rules about RV lot use, parking, fees, assessments, pet rules, or other common area regulations.
