Q: I live in Illinois subsidized housing. I am disabled and live in an apartment. We are being told we can't have visitors.
We are being told it's because of the Coronavirus and I don't think they have the right to tell us we can't have the family come and visit us. I want to know if they have that right since this might be something that will go on for quite a long while and it doesn't seem right that they have that power over us.
A: I would recommend you review the terms of your lease to determine if there are any restrictions. Additionally, are there building rules/regulations which apply. Alghough due to COVID many buildings are adjusting their normal procedures, access to an individual's unit should not be restricted.
