harassment and discrimination

[riddled1]

I have a disabled US husband (stroke) who lives in a subsidized dwelling. My husband can no longer read, write, or speak beyond 1 0r 2 word utterances. He is paralyzed on his entire right side. This and other health issues creates numerous difficulties.. bathing..food preparation... etc. Rules and regulations stipulate that guests cannot stay overnite beyond max of 14 days in a 30 day span. In order to address this matter and keep the rent within affordable bounds, my husband's doctor wrote a letter for the manager stating that my husband required me, his wife with him to assist him. We were told that a doctor's letter of this nature would change my guest category to caregiver and therefore the matter would be resolved. Not so... constant 10 day notices to my husband, the tenant for having "some woman" living in his apartment. For not supervising our little 3lb dog (bogus),, for not immediately cleaning up feses (bogus) for getting a satellite dish put in the unacceptable spot (bogus) the holder for the dish was there when we moved in,, for so many ridiculous little things that aren't so.. plus other tenants do not get these notices for their pets roaming around, etc.. i strongly believe that this is harassment and definite discrimination... please help... too many things to list... tons and tons

The notices for violation for having other adults in the rental sound like a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act to me. Please contact this council to get help from their attorneys. The manager must make reasonable accomodations to any disabled person. Allowing a live-in caregiver sounds like a reasonable accomodation to me. It costs management nothing if utilities are not included in the rent. If utilities are included, allowing the caregiver to live there with a slight increase for the extra utilities would seem a reasonable accomodation. Denying a caregiver is not a reasonable accomodation.
