Property Management
A Delaware tenant requests a reasonable accommodation for a disability — specifically, a reserved parking spot close to their unit. The landlord refuses. This is most likely:
APermissible — parking spaces are not part of the rental unit
BA fair housing violation — refusing a reasonable accommodation for a disability✓ Correct
CPermissible if the lease does not include a parking provision
DOnly a violation if the building has more than 10 units
Explanation
Refusing to provide a reserved accessible parking spot as a reasonable accommodation for a tenant's disability violates the Fair Housing Act. A reasonable accommodation does not fundamentally alter the nature of the housing program or create an undue burden. Accessible parking is a commonly recognized reasonable accommodation.
