Situation — How This Comes Up

My HOA is denying my request to install a ramp at my front door to accommodate my disability.

What You Need to Know First

The Fair Housing Act requires HOAs to permit reasonable modifications to the premises when needed by a resident with a disability. A blanket denial of a modification request violates federal law.

Full Analysis

Section 804(f)(3)(A) of the Fair Housing Act requires housing providers, including HOAs, to permit reasonable modifications to the premises at the expense of the person with a disability. The HOA may impose conditions to ensure restoration but cannot simply refuse.
