QUESTION: Does a person with a disability have to have the housing provider’s approval before making a reasonable modification to the dwelling?
Yes. A person with a disability must have the housing provider’s approval before making the modification. However, if the person with a disability meets the requirements under the Fair Housing Act for a reasonable modification and provides the relevant documents and assurances, the housing provider cannot deny the request.
For more information about reasonable modifications, please see these other postings: What is a “Reasonable Modification” for Purposes of the Fair Housing Act? and The Difference Between a "Reasonable Accommodation" and a "Reasonable Modification" Under the Fair Housing Act.
