Ada Wheelchair

Tenant moved in several yrs ago and was on disability since then kidneys are failing and must rely on a wheelchair to get around -no existing lease in effect - person needs to find a place that is ADA wheelchair accessible - How do I evict ? I have gave him notice to start looking for a new place the person is very indignant about it and threatening lawsuit. Also, person has become very overweight and is using that to the hilt.

depending on your state, you might have to put in a ramp for them.. if you kick him out because of a disabilty, you could and probably will be sued..

i just found this on a site:
If you encounter discrimination, inform the landlord of your rights in a helpful way - don't be adversarial unless necessary. The rights and needs of disabled people are new to some. Many landlords don't know a companion or guide dog isn't considered a pet, or that you're entitled to make reasonable changes to make your apartment more livable. If you don't tell them, they may never know.

people with disabilitys have more rights than people without...

also, in my opinion, it is cruel to kick someone out because they have a disibility.... i hope karma comes back and gets you!!

I am looking for a wheelchair accessible, 1 or 2 bedroom apt. in the cooler parts of the U.S. Must be really compliant, ie: all appliences in the kitchen must be lowered to wheelchair height, bathroom must be big enough to accommodate a wheelchair and a roll-in shower, bedrooms must be large enough to allow wheelchair on both sides of full sized bed. Must allow pets. Would like to have access to outdoor patio or someplace to sit outside.

THERE ARE SEVERAL OF THESE IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN. YOU COULD ALSO CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN OR THE SOCIAL SECURITY DEPT. THERE ARE HOUSING AND LOW INCOME NUMBERS ALSO AVAILABLE.

I'm in NY with my friend who uses a wheelchair to get around, and we've found that the majority of subway stations are not accessable. How is this not considered a violation of the ADA?

I'm not a native New Yorker -- but could it be that the Subway system isn't the only form of public transportation in New York? If it was the only form of transportation, it would have to be accessible to all. However, since there are many forms available, with some meeting the needs of disabled patrons, the Subway probably isn't required by law to meet those needs.

I was told that because there was 3 physicians that were in wheelchairs that worked in the bldg that this handicapped parking place was designated for them "as the sign stated". It was the last parking place - close to the building. BUT the
only reason why I even question it is because I wanted to know if the ADA distingushes between disabilities.

Typically, there are physician only parking spots at medical facilities. The physician handicapped parking are a further limitation for who uses that spot.
