This is one of the reason I ask those to work with a local, Federal Funded,
Center for Independent Living (CIL) in the community. They know the National
and Local codes on that issue and can advise the building management, if
there is truly a question. There is the Law and the Spirit of the Law.
Accessible vs Handicap could easily be misconstrue.

if it is an older complex and they do have one accessible unit----who say's
they need more?? i'm not arguing...just wondering, even on new units--how
many do they need to have? this is a good subject---same for parking
spaces and so on.

To answer your question, Yes they can. Do you have the same right to sue
them for violation of the ADA? The answer to that question is Yes as well.
Knowledge is a very powerful tool.

Can an apartment complex with old buildings charge me to widen a door or put
a curb cut in so that I would have access to a ground level apartment? They
only have one "handicapped" 3br unit that is occupied.
