In 2026, a 40-unit apartment community opened a separate leasing office that welcomed the general public. A manager argued that accessibility rules do not apply because the property is residential. Which statement is most accurate?

Correct Answer

C) The leasing office generally must comply with public-accommodation accessibility requirements

A leasing office that invites members of the public into a business space is generally treated as a public-facing facility subject to ADA Title III accessibility requirements. The fact that it is located at a residential community does not make the office itself private.

Answer Options
A
The leasing office is exempt because all housing-related spaces are private
B
Accessibility rules apply only if the office is larger than 3,000 square feet
C
The leasing office generally must comply with public-accommodation accessibility requirements
D
Only the dwelling units, not the leasing office, are ever subject to federal accessibility law
