Explanation
The ADA covers commercial facilities and places of public accommodation (retail, restaurants, offices, hotels). Residential properties are primarily covered by the Fair Housing Act's accessibility requirements, which apply to multi-family housing (4+ units) constructed after March 13, 1991. In Nevada, real estate agents must understand which law applies — ADA for commercial, FHA accessibility for residential multi-family.
