(1) CERTIFICATION THAT HOUSING IS FOR OLDER PERSONS. Housing primarily intended and primarily operated for occupancy by at least one person 55 years of age or older per dwelling unit may qualify as housing for older persons entitled to the exemption under s. 106.50(5m) (a) 1e, Stats., only if that housing actually satisfied all of the factors required for such housing by s. 106.50(5m) (a) 1e, Stats., at the time that the alleged discriminatory housing practice occurred.

(2) EXEMPTIONS FROM OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS. Housing shall not fail to qualify for the exemptions and exclusions for housing for older persons set forth in s. 106.50(5m) (a) 1 and 1e. b., Stats., by reason of either of the following:
