Can landlords legally enforce minimum age policies for renters?

Yes they can. It isn't arbitrary it is so there can be senior communities.

And 55 is hardly "about to die." You young whipper snapper.

Many councils acting as social landlords in England do enforce this kind of policy, and therefore it must be legal or they would not do it. They do it for various reasons. The high rise blocks in town are deemed as not the best environment for young children, or for tenants under 30. Bungalows are on one level because they are designed for elderly and infirm people and have an over-55 policy. Some properties which have previously been adapted for a disabled tenant may only be re-let to a disabled tenant, to save the cost of having to adapt another property. Their house, their rules.

I know that hotels can legally state that the person renting their room has to be a certain age... I'm assuming an apartment manager can do the same. I guess things like that are kept in place so the old folks can have their own little communities without some young whipper snapper coming in with the loud music and fast driving and booty calls.....

Just my personal understanding, yes it seems that their is some kind of discrimination. The landlords

however would it seems that they can legally do what they please providing they own the property.

It would appear that the reason for their quote is because they feel that having an adult in the household would more likely provide less possibility of damages being done to their property especially if young kids are involve.

Landlords can let their property to whoever they like - but will of course set certain limits because their big worry if finding trustworthy tenants. Harder to do than you think.

i don't know but thats really weird....its like saying tenants must be about to die to live here...lol

that's legal if it applies to all.
