A provider may not refuse a request, however, because the individual making the request
did not follow any formal procedures that the provider has adopted. If a provider adopts formal
procedures for processing reasonable accommodation requests, the provider should ensure that
the procedures, including any forms used, do not seek information that is not necessary to
evaluate if a reasonable accommodation may be needed to afford a person with a disability equal
opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. See Questions 16 - 18, which discuss the disability-
related information that a provider may and may not request for the purposes of evaluating a
reasonable accommodation request.
