making a disability related request
ACCOMODATION VS. MODIFICATION
Under the Fair Housing Act, a client is considered disabled if they have a condition that limits one or major life activities, if they have a history of a disability, if they have been regarded as having a disability, or if they have a temporary disability. Clients who are disabled have added protections and can request the following:
A reasonable accommodation - an exception to a policy, rule or practice, such as:
Allowing more time to review documents
Giving alternative payment methods
Use of an assistance animal
Granting additional time to comply with notices
and more…
A reasonable modification - a structural change to a unit or common area, such as:
Installing a grab bar or ramp
Putting in different lighting or alerts
Removing trip hazards
and more…
Overall, these changes can help afford the client equal access and enjoyment of their dwelling the same as a non-disabled person.
