Reasonable to

Yes, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can deny a reasonable accommodation request under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) if:

1. It imposes an undue financial or administrative burden – If the accommodation is too costly or difficult to implement.

2. It fundamentally alters the nature of the housing provider’s operations – If the request significantly changes the way the housing is typically run.

3. There is no disability-related necessity – If the request is not directly related to the person’s disability.

4. It poses a direct threat to health or safety – If granting the accommodation would create a danger to others that cannot be mitigated.

Even if the landlord agrees to an accommodation, HUD or a public housing authority (PHA) can still deny it if it doesn’t meet legal standards. If a request is denied, the tenant can:

• Negotiate alternatives with the housing provider.

• File a complaint with HUD or a state/local fair housing agency.

• Seek legal assistance to challenge the denial.
