The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) primarily applies to which type of property?

Correct Answer

B) Commercial properties and places of public accommodation

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires commercial facilities and places of public accommodation — such as stores, restaurants, hotels, and office buildings — to be accessible to persons with disabilities. The ADA does not generally apply to private residential properties. Residential properties are instead governed by the Fair Housing Act, which requires reasonable accommodations and modifications for persons with disabilities in housing with four or more units. Attorneys and licensed professionals must ensure their clients understand which law applies to a given property type.

Answer Options
A
All residential properties regardless of size
B
Commercial properties and places of public accommodation
C
Residential rental properties with four or more units
D
Only federally funded transportation facilities
