There was a local news story yesterday about a gentleman who was put into a wheelchair by cancer, and his mean landlord wouldn't build him a wheelchair ramp.  

Assistance animals perform many disability-related functions, including but not limited to, guiding individuals who are blind or have low vision, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to sounds, providing protection or rescue assistance, pulling a wheelchair, fetching items, alerting persons to impending seizures, or providing emotional support to persons with disabilities who have a disability-related need for such support.

I had one tenant on an SSDI benifit of $871/month, said he worked all his life, fell off a couple of buildings & by 55 was in a wheel chair most of the day.

The second area is insuring that newly constructed multifamily housing is built in accordance with the Fair Housing Act's accessibility requirements so that it is accessible to and usable by people with disabilities, and, in particular, those who use wheelchairs.

If a potential tenant says I will build a wheelchair ramp just say, "No thank you.

Greetings I have an inquiry for my SFH in Milw from someone with a disabled - wheelchair bound - adult. 

So, let's fast forward a couple of weeks, the day before move in, she walks the boyfriend through who is in a wheelchair, and he loves it because of the open concept provided.

It is not any different than when a person in a wheelchair says that they want a ramp to the front door instead of your stairs.

(He didnt) Among other things, she now says that I must comply with ADA rules and (at my expense) install motion sensors in the open carport and install a ramp.She is somewhat disabled, but when I see her she moves just fine and is not in a wheelchair but using a cane occasionally.

The neighbors finally reported the issue to License and Inspections and the Health Department when they saw one elderly woman in a wheelchair getting her "shower" by being wheeled out into the backyard and hosed down with a garden hose.Gail
