Fair Housing
A Virginia property management company's written application policy requires a credit score of 700. A disabled applicant with a score of 680 due to medical bills requests an exception. This is a request for:
AA fair housing exemption
BA reasonable accommodation✓ Correct
CA reasonable modification
DA waiver of the ADA requirements
Explanation
A reasonable accommodation is a change to a rule, policy, practice, or service that may be necessary to afford a disabled person equal opportunity. The property manager must consider whether an exception to the credit score policy is reasonable.
