To support a disability-related transfer request, tenants must provide what?

Disability-related transfers are handled as reasonable accommodations, so the tenant must provide documentation that verifies the disability and explains why the transfer is needed. The key idea is that the documentation should be reasonable and sufficient for the housing provider to understand the disability and the impact on housing needs, without being overly burdensome to obtain. This documentation can come from a variety of qualified sources, not just a doctor’s letter—such as a physician, a case manager, a social worker, or another professional who is familiar with the tenant’s situation. The goal is to have information that supports the transfer request while respecting the tenant’s privacy and limiting sensitive details to what’s directly relevant to the accommodation.
