Fair Housing
An Oregon property manager is unsure whether an applicant's request for a disability accommodation is legitimate. The manager may ask the applicant to:
AProvide their complete medical records
BProvide reliable documentation from a healthcare provider confirming the disability and the need for the accommodation✓ Correct
CDemonstrate their disability in person
DSign a legal declaration that they have a disability
Explanation
When a disability is not obvious, a landlord may request reliable documentation from a healthcare provider verifying the disability and the disability-related need for the accommodation. The landlord may not demand specific medical records or diagnoses — only verification of the disability and its connection to the request.
