    To impose any restrictions on the ages of minor children who can reside in said unit for any current residents of said unit; provided specifically, however, that in the event a complex intends to convert partially or totally to an all-adult complex a minimum notice of eighteen (18) months shall be required and deemed sufficient to notify all tenants in said multi-family complex that rental agreements shall not be renewed because the multi-family complex is being converted, in whole or in part, to an all-adult status.
