Fair Housing
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), commercial facilities (not residential) must:
AFollow only the Fair Housing Act's reasonable modification requirements
BBe accessible to persons with disabilities in new construction and undergo barrier removal in existing facilities to the extent readily achievable✓ Correct
CProvide personal care attendants for disabled visitors
DMeet ADA requirements only if they receive federal funding
Explanation
The ADA (Title III) applies to commercial facilities and public accommodations — including real estate offices. New commercial construction must meet ADA accessibility standards. Existing commercial facilities must remove barriers to accessibility to the extent 'readily achievable' (not unduly burdensome). The ADA is separate from the Fair Housing Act — the FHA applies to residential housing, and the ADA applies to commercial and public accommodation settings.
