While homeowners’ associations (HOAs) play a crucial role in maintaining property values for many neighborhoods, their rules can be restrictive and unevenly enforced. 

In this case, our client, who has a disability, sought reasonable accommodation from her HOA after receiving unjustifiable petty violations. Our client’s requests, however, were met with hostility. 

Robinson & Henry’s Litigation Team quickly realized that this individual had a disability discrimination case under the Fair Housing Act. We filed a suit against the HOA with the Colorado Civil Rights Division, which prompted the association to rethink its position. Through negotiations, we achieved a favorable settlement for our client regarding adherence to reasonable disability accommodation requests.
