[nagdu] issue with building

[Angie Matney]

Hi Marion and list,

Jenine is correct. The term "reasonable accommodation" is indeed part of the
FHA. Under 42 USC 3604(f)(3)(B), it is unlawful to discriminate, which
includes "a refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies,
practices, or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford
such person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling."

HTH,

Angie

Marion, there's a document compiled by the DOJ and HUD that discusses
"reasonable accommodation in housing" under both the ADA and fair Housing
Act. I can send it to anyone interested. The url has been changed but I've
got the document and the same principles still apply though it's dated 2004
or so. 

Reasonable accommodation is an overarching principle in the ADA as I
understand it, but again, legal authority is always welcome.
