Property Management

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a Florida commercial property owner who refuses to make reasonable modifications to accommodate a customer who uses a wheelchair may be subject to:

AFREC disciplinary action
BCivil lawsuits and injunctive relief under the ADA✓ Correct
CFREC fines only
DCriminal prosecution

Explanation

The ADA requires places of public accommodation to make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, and physical spaces to accommodate persons with disabilities. Violation of the ADA can result in: civil lawsuits by affected individuals, injunctive relief (court orders requiring modifications), and in some cases, DOJ enforcement actions. Unlike FREC which regulates licensees, ADA enforcement is through federal courts and the DOJ.
