Fair Housing
Under HUD regulations, a housing provider who requests documentation of disability to support a reasonable accommodation request:
AA. May always request the person's complete medical records
BB. May only request reliable documentation showing the person has a disability and that the accommodation is related to the disability — not specific medical details✓ Correct
CC. Cannot request any documentation
DD. Must accept only statements from psychiatrists
Explanation
When disability and the need for accommodation are not obvious, a housing provider may request reliable documentation (such as a letter from a healthcare provider) confirming the person has a disability and explaining the disability-related need for the accommodation. However, providers cannot demand detailed medical records or a specific diagnosis.
