What's A Reasonable Accommodation?


A reasonable accommodation is any action to facilitate the abilities of a person to do something. The phrase was first used in disability law to implement the Rehabilitation Act. It was next used in the Fair Housing Act Amendments of 1988. Finally, it was used in the employment and public service titles of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
An employer has a duty to provide reasonable accommodation upon request.
A government has a duty to provide reasonable accommodation upon request.
A residential landlord or residential manager has a duty to make obvious reasonable accommodations.
