An apartment complex tenant (not in SC) with mobility issues sued the landlord for fair housing violations. The apartment complex had a grill but required walking to the pool and grill area. Tenants wanted a grill on their patio. Landlord denied. Court denied.
Call the hotline if this issue arises in SC.
