As I began reading my blood pressure started rising, then I came to Doug's post. Whew. I want to add that my clients have all gone to reserved parking for all residents. It is working really well. Garden style communities in Dallas area are very short of spaces because occupancy is so high. We use a towing company who issues the stickers and permit numbers and they control it so the manager doesn't have to. And YES you must provide a reserved parking space for valid requests based on disability. And YES, they may require a second reserved spot for their caregiver.
PLEASE before taking action on FH related issues, ask. Rather than make an expensive mistake, ask!!! Doug and I are always willing to help, as are others who train FH.

Your "blue line/blue sign" parking spaces are ADA and cannot be reserved; you can not reduce the number of spaces that were mandated when your community was built.

For Fair Housing accommodation requests, you should assign a non-handicap space if you approve the request. The attached guidance from HUD/DOJ should be helpful, especially page 6. There is no limit to the number of spaces that can be assigned as Fair Housing reserved spaces; the law says you must approve all requests that meet the reasonable test (does not fundamentally alter the way you do business; does not create an undue administrative or financial burden.)

Hope this helps.

The limit is the total number of spaces at your community, unless you like getting sued and losing in court. And then paying out lots of money to your residents.
