Fair Housing
The Minnesota Human Rights Act requires landlords to make reasonable accommodations for tenants with disabilities. A reasonable accommodation example is:
ARebuilding the entire building to install an elevator
BAllowing a tenant with a disability to have a service animal in a no-pets building✓ Correct
CReducing rent by 50% for all disabled tenants
DProviding free parking to all tenants who claim a disability
Explanation
Allowing a service animal or emotional support animal in a no-pets building is a classic example of a reasonable accommodation under fair housing law. The accommodation must be reasonable (not an undue burden) and necessary due to the tenant's disability.
