Cal. Civ. Code § 910-2-4-2
Sec. 2. (a) The provisions regarding familial status in this rule do not apply to housing which satisfies the requirements of sections 3 through 5 of this rule.
(b) Nothing in this rule limits the applicability of any reasonable local, state, or federal restrictions regarding the maximum number of occupants permitted to occupy a dwelling.

Plain English

Section 910-2-4-2 of Indiana's 910 IAC 2 establishes two important carve-outs within the state's fair housing framework. First, housing that meets the qualifying criteria set out in sections 3 through 5 of the same rule is exempt from the familial status protections that otherwise apply. Second, the rule makes clear that nothing in it overrides or weakens any reasonable occupancy limits imposed by local, state, or federal authorities — those limits remain fully in effect regardless of this rule's other provisions.

For Property Managers

Under 910 IAC 2 § 910-2-4-2, operators of housing communities that qualify under sections 3 through 5 of the rule — such as certain senior or age-restricted housing — are generally not required to comply with the familial status provisions that would otherwise govern tenant selection. Compliant operators typically document how their property satisfies the specific qualifying criteria in those sections. Separately, operators may still enforce occupancy standards that are grounded in reasonable local, state, or federal limits, as 910-2-4-2(b) preserves the validity of such restrictions.

For Tenants

910 IAC 2 § 910-2-4-2 means that if you are seeking housing in a community that qualifies under sections 3 through 5 of the rule, the familial status protections in Indiana's fair housing rule may not apply to that property. However, any occupancy limits a landlord enforces must still be grounded in a legitimate local, state, or federal standard — the exemption does not give landlords unlimited discretion to set occupancy caps. Tenants who believe an occupancy restriction is being applied improperly may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing the qualifying criteria in sections 3 through 5 to assess whether the exemption was properly claimed.
