How should a request for a larger unit by an applicant with a disability be treated?

A request for a larger unit from an applicant with a disability should be treated as a reasonable accommodation and given serious consideration. This means engaging in an interactive dialogue to understand the disability‑related need, reviewing available units, and determining whether granting a larger unit is reasonable and feasible without imposing an undue burden. It should not be automatic approval or automatic denial, nor should it rely on a lengthy appeal; decisions are made on a case‑by‑case basis to ensure equal opportunity under applicable civil rights laws.
