[blindLaw] Advocacy efforts accessibility of real page software

[Lauren Bishop]

Good morning,
Real page is a software that apartment use to allow applicants to sign leases and apply for apartments. I tried to apply for an apartment last night, and there were aspects of the application process that were completely an utterly and accessible. There were forms that I had to sign that were red as Graphics with jaws, and I couldn’t electronically sign the documents. The only reason I got as far with the application as I did was because my mom is sided and she could fill out the forms for me. Shirley, I am not the only one that is having issues with this. I’ve been shopping for apartments for a while now as I am now gainfully employed. I want to say that almost every place I’ve looked at uses the software. Are there any app efforts for the accessibility of the software? If not, does anyone have any suggestions on where to go besides reaching out to the company directly. This is a pretty serious issue that if I didn’t have someone around to read these documents to me, I would have to disclose to a landlord that I am blind before they have an opportunity to review , my qualifications to rent the apartment.
