Once a housing provider has established that a person meets the Act's definition of
disability, the provider's request for documentation should seek only the information that is
necessary to evaluate if the reasonable accommodation is needed because of a disability. Such
information must be kept confidential and must not be shared with other persons unless they
need the information to make or assess a decision to grant or deny a reasonable accommodation
request or unless disclosure is required by law (e.g., a court-issued subpoena requiring
disclosure).
