N.J. Condo Association Settles Disability Discrimination Case

A South Jersey condo association recently settled allegations that it unlawfully discriminated against a resident with a disability by failing to accommodate her disability, announced the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights.

The long-term resident had a debilitating lung illness and had a Permanent Disabled Parking Permit issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. She generally parked in a “handicapped” parking space close to her unit in the residents’ parking lot.
