The specific restrictions on using mobility aids in an apartment building's exterior spaces can vary depending on several factors, including the country, state/province, city, and the management policies of the specific apartment building. However, it is generally illegal to discriminate against individuals with disabilities by restricting their use of mobility aids in public spaces.
In many countries, laws and regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States or the Equality Act in the United Kingdom require accessibility for people with disabilities, including the use of mobility aids. This means that apartment buildings must provide reasonable accommodation and access to individuals with disabilities, allowing them to use their wheelchairs, scooters, or other mobility aids in exterior spaces such as sidewalks, parking lots, or common areas.
However, there might be certain limitations or rules that individuals using mobility aids must follow to ensure the safety and convenience of all residents. Some buildings might have speed limits for scooters, rules regarding designated parking areas for mobility devices, or guidelines on using elevators or ramps properly.
To get accurate information about the specific restrictions and policies in a particular apartment building, it is best to consult the building management or refer to local laws and regulations concerning disability rights and accessibility.
