Kahli alleges direct discrimination and refusal to make reasonable accommodation. *631 An accommodation is reasonable, and therefore required, if it does not cause a "fundamental alteration in the nature of a program" or "`undue financial and administrative burdens.'"[12] To accommodate a handicapped tenant, a landlord may be required to incur reasonable costs and/or change a generally applicable rule so that the burden is less onerous on the disabled tenant.[13] Whether a requested accommodation is required under the FHAA is "`highly fact-specific, requiring case-by-case determination.' "[14] In determining what constitutes a reasonable accommodation, the fact-finder should balance the burdens imposed on the landlord and the benefits gained by the tenant.[15]
