Fair Housing

In Wyoming, a homeowner's association that refuses to allow a resident to display a disability-accessible ramp is potentially:

AWithin their rights to enforce community standards
BViolating the Fair Housing Act's requirement to allow reasonable modifications for persons with disabilities✓ Correct
CRequired to build the ramp at the association's expense
DCompliant if the ramp would change the building's exterior appearance

Explanation

The Fair Housing Act requires housing providers to allow reasonable modifications for persons with disabilities at the tenant's/owner's expense. An HOA cannot refuse to allow a necessary accessibility modification simply because of community aesthetic standards, unless the HOA can demonstrate a truly compelling justification.
