Your Landlord Denied Disability Accommodation or Accessibility Request? That’s Discrimination
California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) protects tenants with disabilities from housing discrimination. If you request a reasonable accommodation or modification—such as installing a ramp, allowing a service animal, or adjusting policies so you can fully use your home—your landlord must grant it unless they can prove it causes an undue hardship. Refusing these changes without a legitimate reason is against the law.
Why These Rights Matter?
Accessibility is essential for tenants with disabilities to live safely, independently, and with dignity. Denying a reasonable request can limit your ability to enter, use, and enjoy your own home—and in many cases, it’s considered unlawful discrimination.
Tenant Law Group stands up for renters facing these violations, ensuring landlords are held accountable and tenants get the accommodations they’re entitled to.
What to Do If Your Accessibility Request Is Denied?
If your landlord ignores, delays, or refuses your disability-related request, act quickly. Document your request and any response, note any retaliation such as eviction threats or rent hikes, and contact Tenant Law Group as soon as possible to understand your rights and legal options.
