Wright denies in part a management company's motion for judgment as a matter of law in a disability discrimination suit in which a jury found in favor of a tenant after the management company refused to assign the tenant a handicap accessible space in front of the apartment. The management company challenges the ruling, claiming that it provided a reasonable alternative accommodation. Evidence does not support the jury's verdict that the management company caused the individual harm, or the $250,000 award in emotional distress damages. However, the jury did not err in finding that the management company's offer to move the individual to another apartment was not a reasonable alternative accommodation. The management company's motion for a new trial is granted.
