In determining whether housing qualifies as housing for elderly because it is intended and operated for occupancy by at least one individual fifty-five years of age or older for each unit, the department shall adopt rules that require at least the following factors:

a. That at least eighty percent of the units are occupied by at least one individual fifty-five years of age or older per unit; and

b. The publication of, and adherence to, policies and procedures which demonstrate an intent by the owner or manager to provide housing for individuals fifty-five years of age or older.

2. Housing may not be considered to be in violation of the requirements for housing for elderly under this section by reason of:

a. Individuals residing in the housing as of October 1, 1999, who do not meet the age requirements of this section, provided that new occupants of the housing meet the age requirements; or

b. Unoccupied units, provided that the units are reserved for occupancy by individuals who meet the age requirements of this section.
