okiegirl | Apartment complex/ town homes that do not allow residents with children? |
Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? And if so, how could I find one?
Additional Details
I am sure some people will be really offended by this, but I just personally do not like children and I am looking for a place to live where I wont have to listen to babies crying or kids running around screaming all the time. |

These do exist, u have to look around the area u're in. A while back I was looking for apartments and stumbled upon a few sites that would tell u if the places accepted children (usually doens't apply for apartment complexes, but townhouses yes), pets, smokers, etc...
I forgot where, but they certainly exist. |

Last answer is correct, for larger complexes, it is illegal to discriminate against someone with children, and acutally in newspaper ads you are not allowed to specify gender in most states either unless you are sharing a bathroom......
Private complexes can be child free for sure...55 plus, etc.
Multi unit buildings that are 4 apartments or less and the owner occupies on of the units can discriminate all they want as well...on any issue.
There are no guarantees, but pick an area that is geared toward singles, not kids.....so you dont need #1 school district, lots of parks, etc. Then talk candidly to management and say you realize they cant discriminate, but you personally do not like children...what has prior rental history been like in the building? they can tell you that.
That is all. It is illegal for them to advertise that they dont accept kids, but they can tell you "priors' which is the legal way to get around it. |

The federal Fair Housing Act and Fair Housing Amendments Act (42 U.S. Code §§ 3601-3619, 3631) prohibit landlords from choosing tenants on the basis of a group characteristic such as:
race
religion
ethnic background or national origin
sex
familial status, including having children or being pregnant (except in certain designated senior housing), or
a mental or physical disability.
In addition, some state and local laws prohibit discrimination based on a person's marital status, age, or sexual orientation.
Landlords can always select tenants using criteria that are based on valid business reasons, such as requiring a minimum income or positive references from previous landlords, as long as these standards are applied equally to all tenant

There are developments built strictly for age 55 and over. If you are over 55 talk to a REALTOR and see if there are any in your area. |

It is illegal to discriminate against someone for having children. I feel your pain though. If you have some options for where you live many college towns have one-bedroom complexes. You can't fit too many kids in a one bedroom and most of them are taken up by students. |

It depends on your age.. there are places that are restricted to older residents.. they are retirement communities... It is not uncommon to not want to live near young children.. many people do not.. I managed apartments for many years... I have to tell you that not living near children may not solve the noise level problems.. when you live near older residents you may have to deal with loud talking or loud TV noises.. because the residents may be hard of hearing... and then there are always those that are just naturally noisy... your best bet is to get a unit on the end of the building.. away from a busy traffic area.. or try to rent a small one bedroom home. Good Luck.. :) |

just start going through your local Yellow Pages for apartments and ask until you find one. |

The only legal way to do this is to have an apartment complex or town home subdivision which is for SENIORS. Every other situation would be sued out the wazoo for age and familial discrimination. You can look for a retirement community or senior living, otherwise...you're gonna have to contend with a kid or two or search by word of mouth. People are really good about violating property laws silently. |
