Address
Dear _____________,
I
am a tenant in your building at [address
or name of project] and I qualify as a person with a disability as defined
by the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair
Housing Act, and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
As
a result of my disability I will need specific accommodations such as [list necessary changes in house/apartment or
change in rule, policy or procedure].
I will need such accommodations so that I can live as easily or
successfully as other residents.
Under
the Fair Housing Act, it is unlawful discrimination for a management
company to deny a person with a disability “a reasonable accommodation of an
existing building rule or policy if such accommodation may be necessary to
afford such person full enjoyment of the premises…”
Please
respond in writing to my request for a reasonable accommodation within ___
days. Enclosed is a letter from my physician verifying that I have a disability
and my need for this request. I look forward to your response and appreciate
your attention to this critical matter.
Sincerely,
[Tenant’s Name]
