What Bell Casas Mobile Home Estates's governing documents say

Bell Casas Mobile Home Estates is a mobile home community in Phoenix, AZ, governed by a homeowners association. This document is an amendment to the Declaration of Restrictions that establishes age restrictions to qualify as housing for older persons under the Fair Housing Amendments Act. It binds all lot owners and occupants.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one occupant of each lot must be 55 years of age or older. Lots occupied before the amendment's effective date are exempt. If the qualifying occupant dies, remaining occupants may continue to live there even if none are 55+.
• Children & under-18 occupants: No person under 18 may occupy a lot for more than 30 days in any 12-month period. A person is considered occupying if they stay overnight or are present for more than six hours in a day.
• Occupancy verification & 80% rule: To maintain the community's 55+ status, at least 80% of lots must be occupied by at least one person 55 or older. Owners must certify the ages of occupants within 10 days of a board request and provide supporting documentation.
• Hardship exceptions: The board may grant temporary exceptions to the age rules based on grave personal hardship, but is not obligated to do so. Requests must include names/ages of proposed occupants, reason, duration, and hardship details.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document amending only Paragraph 24 (age restrictions). Other rules about pets, parking, maintenance fees, or leasing are not included and may exist in the full Declaration of Restrictions.
