Can underage people live in senior housing? The answer depends on whether the community is a 55+ or 62+ property. In 62+ housing, residents under 62 generally cannot live there except for limited situations such as caregivers or employees. In 55+ communities, at least one household member must be 55 or older, but secondary residents may be permitted under specific conditions outlined by California law and the Unruh Civil Rights Act. Understanding these rules is essential for property owners and operators to maintain compliance and protect the community’s senior housing status.
