About The Event
Reasonable accommodation is one of fair housing’s “hot topics”. This typically accounts for over 50% of the fair housing complaints to HUD in the past year. Reasonable accommodations can be requested during the application process, during the tenancy, and during an eviction. It is important to learn the correct procedure to ask for, review and implement this important action. Reasonable accommodations are requested because of a disability of either physical or mental issues. It is important that one understands the definition of disability and when it comes into play to allow a disabled person to enjoy the same quality of life as a non-disabled individual.
We will also discuss reasonable accommodations for assistance animals. This includes the new HUD ruling that came down in February of 2020. This guidance is very specific and answers many questions as to the right approach to allowing assistance and service animals. Landlords will benefit by learning the correct ways to handle reasonable accommodation requests from HUD.
