"Curb Appeal is
Everything™"
 IT'S
THE LAW:
The Americans With Disability Act of 1990 is generally very confusing to
commercial property owners, managers and business tenants. Most owners and
managers are aware of the law to some degree, but many times their first
in-depth understanding of the law is after a lawsuit is served against them for
violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for failure to provide
adequate access to their facility.
To make matters worse, businesses are often accused of violating one’s civil
rights and are subject to demands to make costly improvements to their property
(or rented space) and to pay monetary damages. While the federal ADA does not
allow for recovery of monetary damages, California law does. In addition,
California law has made violation of its disability access requirements
violations of the state’s civil rights laws.
