Fair Housing
A disability-related accommodation request that would fundamentally alter the nature of the housing or impose an undue financial burden is considered:
AAlways required regardless of cost
BUnreasonable — and the housing provider is not obligated to provide it✓ Correct
CReasonable if the tenant agrees to share the cost
DSubject to mandatory HUD review
Explanation
Reasonable accommodations must actually be reasonable — the Fair Housing Act does not require housing providers to fundamentally alter their operations or bear undue financial or administrative burdens. If an accommodation is unreasonable, the provider should engage in the interactive process to find an alternative that meets the tenant's needs.
