Is your flat in compliance with local regulations for disabled persons? Or is the service you're selling only for certain kinds of people?

Is the web service you build accessible by blind and deaf people? Or is the web service you're selling only for "certain kinds of people"

Why wouldn't it be if the parent is currently living in it? Are the regulations for short-term and long-term rentals different?

Yes, there are in fact less (or no) disability access requirements for a private residence. The typical home, if used as a hotel, would not be in compliance with access requirements imposed on hotels. This is one way that the deck is stacked against hotels.

I don't understand this comment or why GP is being downvoted. No, my own home is very wheelchair unfriendly because I am not in a wheelchair.
