What is considered unreasonable?
An accommodation is considered unreasonable if it creates an undue financial or administrative burden on the housing provider or if it requires a fundamental change in the nature of its operations.

How do I request a Reasonable Accommodation from a rental property?
To request a reasonable accommodation, a renter simply has to ask—it does not have to be in writing. The property may request verification (like a doctor’s note) confirming the renter’s disability and explaining why the accommodation is needed to enjoy the home or community. However, the landlord or property manager is not allowed to ask about the specific nature, extent, or severity of the renter’s disability.

What if the rental property doesn’t respond or denies a reasonable request?
If the landlord or property manager does not respond within a reasonable amount of time, the delay may be considered a failure to provide a reasonable accommodation.

What can I do if a reasonable accommodation request is denied?
If a reasonable request is denied, the renter may seek further guidance or support, potentially from fair housing organizations or legal resources.
