Scooter Ramps
I would like to know if anyone has knowledge about wheelchair ramps and the duty of Landlords?
I have lived in the same apartment for seven years now. Since we have lived here both my wife and myself have become virtually wheelchair bound. I have asked my Landlord to build us a ramp to allow us access to the apartment but he just changed the subject. As such, I have to leave my specially made, $10,000 wheelchair and my wife's $4,000 scooter in a small, basically unprotected shed each night and we have no mobility aids indoors except our walkers. Does my Landlord have a legal duty to build a ramp for us, or are we stuck with moving from a home that we truly like otherwise? We just don't have the money to build one ourselves and we have approached all the service clubs but have hit brick walls.
I forgot to mention I live in Ontario Canada. Thanks
In America, we have what we call the "Americans with Disabilities Act" which states that employers (and possibly landlords) must comply with providing ramps and restrooms which can accommodate employees who are wheelchair bound, offering those with handicaps the same opportunities as fully-able bodied personnel. I would recommend looking into whether or not Canada has a similar law on the books.
Before you take a route towards the courthouse, maybe your landlord needs a financial motivator. Do a little homework to see how much building a ramp would cost. Negotiate! If you contribute towards the building of a ramp, maybe he'll trade with a month or two of living rent-free...as a way of saying, "thank you for increasing the value of my property."
Nobody likes having to go to court. Exhaust all possible options before hand. Best of luck!
