Can anyone help or advise me with a problem I've encountered today? I live in a private rental in a communal block of flats on the 2nd floor.
I have a wheelchair in my flat and I also keep another wheelchair in the communal cupboard under the stairs on the ground floor for outdoor use as it would be too difficult carrying a wheelchair up and down two flights of stairs and my mam who's in her 60's definitely couldn't do it.
One of my snotty neighbours has reported the wheelchair in the cupboard and apparently the rules of the building is 'no personal items to be kept in communal areas'
So i received a letter today saying there's been an inspection and there will be another on march 25th and if any personal items remain in the cupboard by this date, they will be removed and i will be charged the cost of removal...
As I need the wheelchair to get out of the building, it has to stay down there. What do I do? Can the managers of the building force me to remove my wheelchair? Can i get them with disability discrimination or anything like that?
I love where I live and don't want to have to find somewhere else just so I can use my wheelchair is there anything i can do? Or any organisation that could help?
Social services wanted to put in a manual stair climber for me last year but i had to decline because I knew someone would put a complaint in about it. I didn't think management would have a problem with a folded up wheelchair though
