Explanation
The Fair Housing Act requires housing providers to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services when necessary for a person with a disability to have equal opportunity to use and enjoy the housing. An accommodation is 'reasonable' if it doesn't impose undue financial or administrative burden or fundamentally alter the nature of the housing.
