Under the federal Fair Housing Act, which scenario involving a person with a disability would be considered a reasonable accommodation that a Utah landlord is generally required to provide?

Correct Answer

A) Allowing a tenant to keep an emotional support animal despite a no-pets policy

Under the federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(3)(B)), landlords must make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services when necessary to afford a person with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy the dwelling. Allowing an emotional support animal (ESA) despite a no-pets policy is a classic example of a required reasonable accommodation, provided the tenant has a disability-related need for the animal. This applies in Utah as in all states.
