Does the ADA cover private apartments and homes?
The ADA does not cover strictly residential private apartments and homes. If, however, a place of public accommodation, such as a doctors office or day care center, is located in a private residence, those portions of the residence used for that purpose are subject to the ADAs requirements. Similarly, the leasing office of an apartment building or apartment complex, as well as a model apartment or home used for sales purposes, is a place of public accommodation subject to the ADAs requirements.
