A tenant sued her landlord for disability discrimination in violation of the federal Fair Housing Act. The tenant lived in a ground-floor unit in an apartment complex. Due to multiple disabilities, the tenant used a motorized scooter to get from her apartment's patio door across a lawn to the parking lot. But the landlord couldn't maintain a clear, level path to sidewalks and parking lots and therefore forbade the use of apartment patio doors for coming and going. An insurance agent's report also advised the landlord that the motorized scooter use created liability exposure.
