9. RELATED LITERATURE
According to Real State JOURNAL Research (2009) Amendments
to the fair lending act have exempted an age restriction on ownership
from fair housing prohibitions. This paper studies the economic impact
of such ownership restriction on housing values. Using American
Housing Survey data, we find that there is a significant premium
attached to the restrictive covenant when other factors are controlled
.In particular, we find that imposing age restriction on ownership
increases the housing values by anywhere from 10.5% to 12.7%. At the
average house value, this is equivalent to a dollar amount between
$14,642 and $17,399.The estimates are to bust to different specifications
in hedonic equations.
The aging population has been recognized as one of the most
profound demographic changes in the United States. For instances,
census 2000 found that demographic changes in the United States.

10. The shift is owned to fact that ,in the 1990,the nation largest
population cohorts-representing baby boomers born between 1945
and 1965 transitioned into the 35 and over age category. Over the
ten year period ,the 5054 age group (WHO WERE 55-59 in
2005)experienced the largest percentage growth in population- 55%
or 6.2 million people. This trend will continue for the same reason, as
well as the persistent low fertility rate and growing longevity. The
aging of America has important implications for the housing and
mortgage industries for a number of reasons .To address housing
needs for aged Americans, the fair housing act has exempted from
its familial status provisions properties that satisfy the Acts 55-and
older housing condition under the 1998 amendment and subsequent
changes made under the Housing for older persons Act ,a 1995
amendment.

11. The Act essentially made it legal to impose age restrictive
covenants on a property and permissibly discriminate against non-
aged households. Most of these properties are located in traditional
retirement magnets. Census 2000found that suburbs with the fastest
growth in persons aged 55 and over are located predominantly in
New Sunbelt metros while suburbs with the largest proportions of
these individuals are located in Rustbelt metros.

Several states enacted legislation over the past 50+years

heyday of lodging in both domestic and commercial establishment,
nothing that “these two categories (from the point of view of the
loger) essentially competed within a single market.” Modell and
Hareven found that the ninety century prevalence of rooming and
boarding can be associated with rapid industrialization, urbanization
and population growth couple with increases in the number of
manufactory employees of young unmarried, working men and
women in the cities and of foreign-born urban residents- though the
authors stressed that lodging was far more characteristic of American
and migrant cultures than of foreign cultures, who generally turned to
lodging only as an expedient. Modell and Hareven proposed that
“industrializing, rapidly society,” rooming and boarding “was so
widespread as to be reasonably considered indispensable.”

METHODOLOGY

28. INTRODUCTION
Research Method is the procedure of careful investigation
employing an instrument to gather information for building thesis of
knowledge which provides answer to problem. This research will
encounter necessary methods and techniques in order to collect data
to be used in the study. This will undergo research design,
respondents of the study ,instruments ,procedure in data gathering
and statistical treatment of data.
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
The descriptive research has been used in the study. This was
deemed appropriate because the research attempted to analyze
what are the barriers encountered by the rental business in Manila.
3.2 POPULATION AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

29. 3.3 RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY
The researchers will able to gather information from people who
owned an apartment rental business, believing that they have the
greater knowledge of the study. The respondents were the
individuals taking rental business.
3.4 INSTRUMENTS USED
The researchers will going to used questionnaires as its major
instruments for data gathering which is commonly used in studies.
The content of the questionnaires were made to gather more
information on the study.

30. STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
The data that will be gather from the respondents were
statistically be tabulated ,will analyzed and were going to be
presented on tables embodied in the study. The researcher will
applied the following statistical treatment of data for the solution to
the problem.
FREQUENCY- these tools facilitate the tallying and counting of
frequencies based on each item or category.
PERCENTAGE- used to qualify the actual response given by the
respondents regarding the questionnaire. This will be computed by
dividing the number of responses by the number of respondents and
the quotient will multiplied by one hundred.

31. Percentage Formula
%=f/nx100
Where:
%=percentage
F=frequency
n=total number of respondents
2.CHI SQUARE
CHI SQUARE- a statistical calculation used to test how well the
distribution of a set of observed data matches a theoretical
probability distribution. The calculated value is equal to the sum of
the squares of the differences divided by the expected values.
WHERE:
= =Chi square
Fo=observed frequency
Fe=expected frequency
This is the formula for chi square:
==

32. The computation for the degree of freedom is necessary in
order to obtain the critical value (P). The formula is:
df= (r-1)(k-1)
Where:r = number of rows
k = number of columns
df = degree of freedom
Hypothesis
Ho = there is no significant variation between the obtain/actual and
expected frequencies
Ha = There is a significant variation between the obtain/actual and
expected frequencies
Where:
Ho = Stands for Null Hypothesis
Ha = Stands for Alternative Hypothesis

33. 3.WEIGHTED MEAN
Another statistical technique used by the researchers was the
weighted mean. It was used to determine the averages responses of
the different options provided in the various parts of the survey
questionnaire used. The method is used in conjunctions with the
likert scale. It was solved by the formula
X=∑ fx/n
where;
X= weighted mean
∑ fx/n= the sum of all the products of f and x ,being frequency of
each weight of each operation
N= total number of respondents
4.RANKING
This is a descriptive measure to describe numerical data in
addition to percentage. Ranking was used in the study for the
comparative purpose and for shrink the importance of items
analyzed.
