When a housing provider refuses a requested accommodation because it is not reasonable,
the provider should discuss with the requester whether there is an alternative accommodation that
would effectively address the requester's disability-related needs without a fundamental alteration
to the provider's operations and without imposing an undue financial and administrative burden.
If an alternative accommodation would effectively meet the requester's disability-related needs
and is reasonable, the provider must grant it. An interactive process in which the housing
provider and the requester discuss the requester's disability-related need for the requested
accommodation and possible alternative accommodations is helpful to all concerned because it
often results in an effective accommodation for the requester that does not pose an undue
financial and administrative burden for the provider.
