Josh Management operates apartments. It has a rental office
with a parking lot. The parking lot has accessible parking. The apartments have
accessible units.
Josh has a website that advertises the apartments. The website
has pictures of the pool, clubhouse, units and gym. However, there are no
pictures of the accessible units or the accessible parking.
Pat uses a wheelchair for mobility. He uses the bus. Before
he travels he wants to know if his destiny is accessible. Pat wants to move to
a new home. He finds the website by Josh Management but it has no accessible
pictures. Can Pat bring a valid lawsuit against Josh Management.
The Americans with Disabilities Act says a person using a
wheelchair cannot be denied the opportunity to participate. Is Pat denied the
opportunity to participate in the picture website experience because Josh posts
pictures for surfers without disabilities but does not posts pictures for
people with disabilities? No court has decided the issue yet.
The UAAAC filed lawsuits asking the California Central and
Northern United District Courts to decide the picture issue.
