Right to Request a Modification or Accommodation Notice

Required Under Portland City Code Title 30.01.086.C.3.B

For residentil rental units within Portlnd city limits, a landlord is required to include this notice with application forms for the rental of a dwelling unit.

State and federal laws, including the Fair Housing Act, make it illegal for housing providers to refuse to make reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications for individuals with disabilities. All persons with a disability have a right to request and be provided a reasonable accommodation or modification at any time, from application through to termination/eviction.

Some examples of reasonable accommodations include:

  • Assigning an accessible parking space
  • Transferring a tenant to a ground-floor unit
  • Changing the rent payment schedule to accommodate when an individual receives public benefits
  • Allowing an applicant to submit a housing application via a different means
  • Allowing an assistance animal in a "no pets" building. More information about assistance animals is available here:
    https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/assistance_animals

Some examples of reasonable modification include:

  • Adding a grab bar to a tenant's bathroom
  • Installing visual smoke alarm systems
  • Installing a ramp to the front door

Under fair housing laws, a person with a disability is someone:

  • With a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of the individual;
  • With a record of having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of the individual;or
  • Who is regarded as having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.

Reasonable Accommodations

A reasonable accommodation is a change or exception to a rule, policy, practice, or service that may be necessary for a person with a disability to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. This includes public use and common spaces or fulfilling their program obligations. Any change in the way things are customarily done that allows a person with a disability to enjoy housing opportunities or to meet program requirements is a reasonable accommodation.

All housing or programs are required to make reasonable accommodations. Housing providers may not require persons with disabilities to pay extra fees or deposits or any other special requirements as a condition of receiving a reasonable accommodation.

Reasonable Modifications

A reasonable modification is a structural change made to the premises in order to afford an individual with a disability full enjoyment of the premises. Reasonable modifications can include structural changes to interiors and exteriors of dwellings and to public use and common areas.

Under federal law, public housing agencies, other federally assisted housing providers, and state or local government entities are required to provide and pay for structural modifications as reasonable accommodations/modifications. For private housing, the person requesting the reasonable modification will need to cover the costs of the modification.

Verification of Disability

In response to an accommodation or modification request and only when it is necessary to verify that a person has a disability that is not known or apparent to the housing provider, they, can ask an applicant/tenant to provide documentation from a qualified third party (professional), that the applicant or tenant has a disability that results in one or more functional limitation. If the disability-related need for the requested accommodation or modification is not known or obvious, the housing provider can request documentation stating that the requested accommodation or modification is necessary because of the disability, and that it will allow the applicant/tenant access to the unit and any amenities or services included with the rental equally to other tenants.

A housing provider cannot inquire into the nature or extent of a known or apparent disability or require that an applicant or tenant release his or her medical records. Housing providers can require that the verification come from a qualified professional, but they cannot require that it be a medical doctor.

Nondiscrimination laws cover applicants and tenants with disabilities, as well as applicants and tenants and without disabilities who live or are associated with individuals with disabilities. These laws also prohibit housing providers from refusing

to rent to persons with disabilities, making discriminatory statements, and treating persons with disabilities less favorably than other tenants because of their disability.

Under fair housing laws, it is illegal for a housing provider to deny reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications to individuals with disabilities. If wrongfully denied an accommodation or modification contact HUD or the Fair Housing Council of Oregon. Time limits apply to asserting any legal claims for discrimination.

HUD will investigate at no cost to the complainant.
