Reasonable Accommodation Notice

People with disabilities have the right to request reasonable accommodations and modifications for equal access to housing.

Under the Federal Fair Housing Act and the New York State Human Rights Law, people with disabilities have the right to request reasonable accommodations and reasonable modifications so that they have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a home. Crown Royal Realty, LLC is committed to honoring these rights and to working with housing providers to see that lawful requests are addressed.

What Is a Reasonable Accommodation?

A reasonable accommodation is a change, exception, or adjustment to a rule, policy, practice, or service that a person with a disability may need to have equal access to housing. A reasonable modification is a physical change to a home or common area for the same purpose. Examples include:

  • Allowing an assistance animal or service animal in a building with a “no-pet” policy, and waiving any related pet fees.
  • Providing a reserved, accessible parking space near a tenant's unit.
  • Permitting the installation of grab bars, a ramp, or a lowered countertop.
  • Allowing a live-in aide, or adjusting how or where rent is paid.
  • Providing notices or communications in an accessible format.

How to Request an Accommodation

You may request a reasonable accommodation or modification at any time — orally or in writing. You do not need to use any special form or specific words. It helps to describe the change you are requesting and how it relates to a disability. A housing provider may ask for information to verify that the request is disability-related when the need is not obvious, but may not ask for details about the nature or severity of a disability.

Your Rights

It is unlawful for a housing provider to refuse to make reasonable accommodations or permit reasonable modifications when they are necessary to afford a person with a disability equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. Retaliation against a person for requesting an accommodation is also prohibited.

If You Believe Your Rights Have Been Violated

If a request has been denied or you believe you have experienced discrimination, you may file a complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights at dhr.ny.gov, or with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at hud.gov/fair_housing.
