Legal Question in Disability Law in California
ADA and Homeowner's Assn Board
Our HOA has two board members who have, since being elected, suffered medical problems. One requires oxygen (a portable tank) and the other, having suffered a heart attack and several strokes, is unable to hear, so requires someone to reiterate every word spoken to him. We, the homeowners, have been advised that due to the ADA, we, the homeowners, are responsible to pay for the portable oxygen and the translator. Is this accurate?

No way. If he is charging such expenses, it is probably improper. Contact a local attorney to determine what steps to take now.
