Courts have ruled that the Act may require a housing provider to grant a reasonable
accommodation that involves costs, so long as the reasonable accommodation does not pose an
undue financial and administrative burden and the requested accommodation does not constitute
a fundamental alteration of the provider’s operations. The financial resources of the provider, the
cost of the reasonable accommodation, the benefits to the requester of the requested
accommodation, and the availability of other, less expensive alternative accommodations that
would effectively meet the applicant or resident’s disability-related needs must be considered in
determining whether a requested accommodation poses an undue financial and administrative -8-
burden.
