Although a reasonable accommodation request can be made orally or in writing, it is
usually helpful for both the resident and the housing provider if the request is made in writing.
This will help prevent misunderstandings regarding what is being requested, or whether the
request was made. To facilitate the processing and consideration of the request, residents or
prospective residents may wish to check with a housing provider in advance to determine if the
provider has a preference regarding the manner in which the request is made. However, housing
providers must give appropriate consideration to reasonable accommodation requests even if the
requester makes the request orally or does not use the provider's preferred forms or procedures
for making such requests.
