Fair Housing
Under the federal Fair Housing Act, a landlord MUST make reasonable accommodations for a tenant with a disability. An example of a required reasonable accommodation is:
ARemodeling the entire building to add an elevator
BAllowing a tenant with a mobility disability to park in a designated reserved space closer to their unit✓ Correct
CProviding a full-time personal care attendant
DReducing rent by 50% for disabled tenants
Explanation
Reasonable accommodations under the FHA are changes in rules, policies, practices, or services that allow a person with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy housing. Assigning a parking space closer to a unit for a mobility-impaired tenant is a classic example of a reasonable accommodation. Structural modifications (like adding an elevator) are covered under 'reasonable modifications' (tenant-funded), not accommodations. The landlord is not required to provide personal services or reduce rent.
