DescriptionLocationInstructorsEducation PolicyCancellation Policy More than 50 million Americans, 18% of our population, have disabilities, and each is a potential customer. By the year 2030, there will be approximately 71.5 million baby boomers over the age of 65. They will be demanding products, services, and environments that meet their age related physical needs. Your Commercial real estate customers need to be made aware of the requirements contained in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This will enable your customer to use due diligence when choosing a business location. According to the ADA, any business that provides goods or services to the public is considered “public accommodations” and falls under the rules and regulations of the ADA. The main objective of the ADA is to eliminate discrimination against people with disabilities and to fully integrate them into American economic life. After taking this class students will be able to: •Understand the scope of coverage for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the different types, with emphasis on Title III public accommodations. •Gain understanding of the 12 categories of public accommodations and how the physical location of the property and its intended use pertain to the categories. •Use criteria to decide which type of accessibility survey is relevant for a specific real estate transaction and, if necessary, how to generate an implementation plan to accomplish readily achievable barrier removal. •Provide guidance on how alterations and renovations impact the 20% rule. •Gain practical knowledge of landlord/tenant responsibilities and lease language. •Provide guidance on business accommodations past the built environment, with emphasis on service animals and other power driven mobility devices. •Gain practical knowledge of how the financial cost of compliance can be defrayed by using tax incentives provided in the Internal Revenue Service tax code. **This class is part of the CREA Commercial Summer Series and will be preceded by a networking breakfast beginning at 8:30am.
