You may remember that my Mom was involved in an apartment fire about 6
weeks or so ago. She has now been resettled and is living in an
accessible apartment. Aside from a few unexpected glitches, the move
has gone well. There are still a few minor issues that need to be
solved- many of her dishes and china, as well as collectables were
damaged, a family ring lost- but for the most part it has gone
relatively well.

There have been many changes in her life. She walked every where most
recently with a walker, but has now purchased a scooter and is now
learning to use it independently. She has never had a dishwasher, but
now has one. For someone approaching 80 these have been significant
changes.

Because her mobility is limited, she has been bringing her scooter
into the apartment. On Sunday a maintenance inspector stopped by and
told her that she was not allowed to do this, but that the scooter
needed to be left outside. My sister was ready to take whatever steps
were necessary to have that rule changed, as it did not seem fair.
Fortunately an OT came by yesterday and he seemed to think that it was
necessary for her to bring the scooter inside, and that he would
approach the management with that request.

I have not heard how/if this matter has been resolved, but it was
certainly fortuitous timing for hime to come just then to advocate on
her behalf.

They only have the one unit that is wheelchair accessible, and maybe
there is a learning curve for them as well on what is/is not
permitted.

Has anyone encountered a similar rule?
