A woman in Oregon who is disabled has been unable to leave her apartment for months without help due to a broken elevator.
“I am a prisoner in my own home,” said Tina Topliss , who lives on the fourth floor of the Salem Arts building.On April 22, she noticed the elevator had stopped working.
In emails to the property manager, Onyx Management Group, Topliss asked for reasonable accommodation and says it was denied. Instead, emails show management offered her a $75 discount on rent until the issue is fixed, and they recommended food delivery services in the meantime.A caregiver has been helping Topliss get up and down the stairs when she needs to get to doctors' appointments, or to the grocery store, but Topliss said the pain is excruciating.
KATU reached out to Onyx Management Group several times since Tuesday but didn't hear back. On Friday afternoon, the station received an email saying they had no comment.
