Explanation
Fair housing law requires housing providers to make reasonable accommodations — adjustments in rules or policies — for persons with disabilities when necessary for equal use and enjoyment. Examples include: allowing an assistance animal despite a no-pets policy, reserving a closer parking space, or allowing a tenant to pay rent on a different date due to disability-related income timing. Accommodations must be reasonable and not impose an undue hardship on the housing provider.
