Guide to Requesting Reasonable Accommodations and Modifications Under the Fair Housing Act
What is a reasonable accommodation or reasonable modification?
Under the Fair Housing Act, a reasonable accommodation is a change or exception to any rule, policy, procedure or service needed in order for a person with a disability to be able to have equal access to and full enjoyment of their home, such as allowing an assistance animal where there is a “no pet” policy, or allowing a live-in caregiver when a housing policy states “no over-night guests”. A reasonable modification is a structural change made to existing premises, occupied or to be occupied by a person with a disability, in order to afford them full enjoyment of the premises, such as the installation of a ramp, grab bar or handrail. Reasonable accommodations and modifications enable independent living and equal access to housing for people with disabilities.
If you feel you need a reasonable accommodation or modification to your home or apartment based on a disability, there is a process you will need to go through to work with your housing provider. These requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
