Topic: Do You Have a Play Area for the Customers' Children?
We have a small table set up with crayons, markers, and coloring sheets. It is a awesome thing for prospects. We can get their full attention and the kids have something fun to do. I think this helps give our prospects something to remember. Also it is nice for our residents when they come in with their children but need to talk in private.

Good question, Dawn!
I think having kid-focused features is OK. The original intent of adding families to the fair housing law was to protect families with children, so a fun amenity to benefit families should be ok. The people who wouldn't benefit from this would be non-families, who don't receive the same protection of their interests. At least I think that's how it can be interpreted.

I tried having a corner in the clubhouse for small children because they are the most distracting for parents. They seem to prefer to climb all over their parents instead of playing with whatever I have. I even had a high chair to sit them in. NO WAY!!!
Waste of time. I just ignore them and try to keep the parents attention as much as possible.
