PYRAMID LIFE SINCE 1913
THE PYRAMID LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, 6201 JOHNSON DRIVE,
SHAWNEE MISSION,
KANSAS 66202 (913) 722-1110
We are an insurance company with our home office in Shawnee Mission, Kansas,
but with 25 field offices located across the country.
1. What are our responsibilities as tenants and employers as regards the field
offices?
2. Is the fact that we are incorporating a section in our leases requiring the
landlord be responsible for making any alterations to comply with the
accessility requirement of the ADA sufficient?
3. If we are in existing leases not due to expire until after July 31, 1992,
maywe wait until the lease expires to require the landlord to comply with the
ADA?
4. What if the landlord, by signing the lease, agrees to make any changes
necessary, but then does not make them? What are our responsibilities at that
point?
Thank you for any assistance you can give me. I have read the Public Law
101-336 publication, but cannot find specific answers to the above questions.
Sincerely,
Karen R. Fitzpatrick
Staff Accountant
