I live in a condo with my Mom who is in a wheelchair. The elevator is down for repairs for one month. What are the responsibilities of the HOA to accommodate my mother. I cannot get insurance to pay this time. They did on a claim last year but are now saying they will not. What can I do to make the [HOA](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) pay for us to stay in a hotel or to get in and out of the condo? We are on the second floor. Thank you.
