HOA Fined My Wheelchair Ramp — The Law Shut Them Down

Описание: When I installed a temporary wheelchair ramp so a family member could safely enter my home, I never expected my HOA to threaten fines. They treated it like a cosmetic violation instead of what it was—a necessary accessibility accommodation.

Rather than reacting emotionally, I reviewed the HOA rules and then looked beyond them. What I found was clear: housing laws require HOAs to allow reasonable disability accommodations, even when they involve exterior modifications. Armed with documentation and a calm approach, I brought the issue to the board.

The result wasn’t just a withdrawn violation. Fines were canceled, enforcement stopped, and the HOA was forced to change how it handles accessibility requests for everyone in the community.

This is a realistic HOA story about patience, preparation, and protecting what actually matters—without shouting, exaggeration, or drama.
