Fair HousingIntermediateAlaska Exam

An Alaska property manager is required to provide a reasonable accommodation to a tenant with a disability. A reasonable accommodation is:

AA physical modification to the unit made at the landlord's expense, as is typical in most transactions
BA change in rules, policies, or practices to afford equal opportunity to a person with a disabilityCorrect
CThe installation of accessibility features in all common areas
DAny modification the tenant requests regardless of cost

Why A change in rules, policies, or practices to afford equal opportunity to a person with a disability Is Correct

Answer B: A change in rules, policies, or practices to afford equal opportunity to a person with a disability

A reasonable accommodation is a change in rules, policies, practices, or services — not a physical modification — to afford a person with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy housing. Example: allowing a service animal despite a no-pets policy.

Exam Tip: Fair Housing

Fair Housing questions test both federal (Fair Housing Act of 1968) and state-level protected classes. The federal protected classes are race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. Many states add additional protections.
