Fair HousingIntermediateColorado Exam

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, which is why practitioners are generally advised to confirm the specific rule with local counsel or the relevant agency
BB. May only request reliable documentation showing the person has a disability and that the accommodation is related to the disability — not specific medical detailsCorrect
CC. Cannot request any documentation
DD. Must accept only statements from psychiatrists

Why B. May only request reliable documentation showing the person has a disability and that the accommodation is related to the disability — not specific medical details Is Correct

Answer B: B. May only request reliable documentation showing the person has a disability and that the accommodation is related to the disability — not specific medical details

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.
