A housing provider receives a written request from a tenant with a mobility impairment asking to be assigned a parking space closer to the building entrance, even though the lease assigns spaces by lottery. Which fair housing concept does this request most directly invoke?

Correct Answer

B) Reasonable accommodation, because the tenant is asking the provider to change a rule or policy to afford equal opportunity to use and enjoy the housing.

Requesting a change to the lottery-based parking-assignment policy is a request for a reasonable accommodation — a change to a rule, policy, practice, or service necessary to give a person with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy housing. It is not a physical alteration, so it is not a reasonable modification.

Answer Options
A
Reasonable modification, because the tenant is asking for a physical change to the parking structure.
B
Reasonable accommodation, because the tenant is asking the provider to change a rule or policy to afford equal opportunity to use and enjoy the housing.
C
Disparate impact, because the lottery system statistically disadvantages tenants with mobility impairments.
D
Steering, because directing the tenant to a specific parking space influences where the tenant is located within the property.
