COnly a violation in California, not federally, per standard fair housing compliance practice
DPermitted for small landlords with fewer than 4 units, under federal and California fair housing law

Why A violation of fair housing law unless the accommodation would cause an undue hardship Is Correct

The Fair Housing Act requires landlords to provide reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities unless doing so would cause an undue hardship. This duty applies regardless of property size (with limited exceptions for owner-occupied small buildings under certain exemptions).
