November WEBINAR:
Advanced Reasonable Accommodation
Tuesday, November 19, 2024
1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
*2 CE credits for Licensed Professionals*
Did you know that an applicant can claim a disability that requires you to discount some or all of their past credit, criminal or rental history based on a prior addiction or the effects of untreated mental illness? There’s a lot to know about reasonable accommodation and what you don’t know can get you into hot water. This class covers:
What to do when an applicant submits a reasonable accommodation, either at the time of application or after denial.
- What is reasonable?
- What criminal history can pose a reasonable concern for danger to neighbors, the landlord or the landlord’s agent?
- Caregivers, how to screen them and the forms to use to set up their right to occupy with the tenant
- Assistance animals – are there any limits?
- Hoarding and creating a plan of action
- Mental health issues
- Requests to ignore bad behavior in the unit if the tenant is getting treatment
- Domestic violence and reasonable accommodation
- Lease bifurcation
At the end of this course, attendees should be able to identify the types of accommodations or modifications that a disabled person can request, how to handle each type of request, the documentation that can be required from the tenant to confirm the disability-related need, how to deny an unreasonable request for accommodation and how to manage disabled tenants who violate the rules.
