Here is my dilemma. My condo DOES NOT comply with the law in terms of accessibility for the handicapped or laws concerning Service Dogs. I was sent a nasty letter saying people complained I walked my Service Dog on condo property. I DID enjoy walking along a walk path with her AFTER she had her "business" walk. I have been told I can only take my Service Dog to & from the car & off the property to do her business she CANNOT accompany me on any of the common areas of the condo - this violates FEDERAL LAW. I am being FORCED to sign a "contract" agreeing to this. The condo I live in is owned by my mom she says "sign the contract or leave". I am a strong disability advocate & in the process of starting a nonprofit to raise service dog awareness. This contract & their rules VIOLATES THE LAW & MY BELIEFS but IF I don't sign the contract the condo says the dog CANNOT be here. Mom says if I don't sign the contract & remain quiet I CANNOT live here. I am too disabled to live on my own or find alternative housing. It is important to note the entrance that I was told to enter & exit the property w/ my Service Dog with is UNDER CONSTRUCTION & not accessible to anyone which adds an additional walk for me to get off the property. Does anyone know how I can file an ANONYMOUS ADA/ FEDERAL COMPLAINT that CANNOT be traced to me? (Mom has said IF I FILE ANY COMPLAINT, MAKE A FUSS or DON'T SIGN THE CONTRACT I AM OUTTA HERE! Which given my physical condition means NURSING HOME!) So what I want to do is sign this LUDICRIS CONTRACT but "someone" else would file a complaint about the INSANITY that goes on here. Note also that in 7 years they spent over $18 MILLION on repairs & upgrades but spent $0 on handicapped accessibility. I CANNOT afford an attorney but if there is one reading this that can advise I would really, really appreciate it. Thanks.

Wow. It's too bad you don't have your mother's support. A condo is not a coop. Why is she so concerned? I am the Board President of a condominium and I don't see what the problem would be. Too bad.
