Wheelchair Advice – Do you qualify for a free wheelchair

I’m buying a new build flat. I use a Wheelchair and when I reserved the flat I asked for doors with low thresholds to the balcony. Now 2 months later, they say they won’t provide accessible doors, and they will build ramps (which will look awfull and I don’t think will actually be possible given how narrow the balcony is) but I would have to pay for them.

Legally, do they have any responsibility to provide reasonable access? At the moment I couldn’t even use the balcony.

If you are in the U.S.A. get a A.D.A. lawyer he or she will sue that developer because it is the law to have access and you will pay nothing but the lawyer about $5,000. + In California or Florida or New York or Colorado or Hawaii. The Developer will pay your lawyers fees and the fix up for total access under ADA laws plus damages in California for your suffering the only state for damages.
If your in U.K.or Canada or Australia, New Zea land they have the same kind of laws.
If your in India You have to pay because they do not have those laws.
