The American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 1990. It was intended to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. For the commercial real estate landlord, property manager or tenant, the ADA requires that access be provided to disabled persons. Disabled persons can sue to ensure access and may be awarded attorney’s fees and costs. ADA lawsuits can often be resolved by a reasonable approach to providing accommodations for disabled access and are almost always resolved short of trial.
