Legal Question in Disability Law in Indiana
Handicap car towed from handicap space
I have a handicap placard displayed in my windshield and was towed from a handicap space at a friend's apt complex. The lot is permit only with visitor's parking over 100 yards away. Is it lawful for me to utilize a handicap parking space in this instance?

Re: Handicap car towed from handicap space
Under certain circumstances, the Fair Housing Act requires that if an apartment complex provides visitor parking, it also must provide accessible parking spaces for visitors. I would need additional information to fully answer your question, including whether accessible visitor parking spaces are provided at the apartment complex and the reason you require accessible parking.
