Which of the following statements about disability-related housing rights is NOT accurate under the federal Fair Housing Act as applied in Illinois?

Correct Answer

D) A reasonable modification is available only to tenants who have children living in the household.

Option D incorrectly ties reasonable modifications to the presence of children in the household. Under the federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)) and the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-102), reasonable modifications are a right afforded to persons with a qualifying disability — not to households with children. Familial status (which covers households with children) is a separate protected category and does not govern the modification or accommodation framework.

Answer Options
A
A housing provider must allow a reasonable modification to a unit when requested by a tenant with a qualifying disability, subject to reasonableness limits.
B
A reasonable accommodation involves a change to rules, policies, practices, or services — not necessarily a physical alteration — to give a person with a disability equal housing opportunity.
C
A housing provider may deny a modification or accommodation request only if granting it would impose an undue burden or fundamentally alter the nature of the housing program.
D
A reasonable modification is available only to tenants who have children living in the household.
