Fair Housing for Tenants with Disabilities: Understanding Reasonable Accommodations and Reasonable Modifications

Join E.V. Yost and Luciene Parsley, attorneys at Disability Rights Maryland (DRM), to learn about federal fair housing laws that protect tenants with disabilities, the role of protection and advocacy systems across the country, and the work DRM does to protect the fair housing rights of people with disabilities in Maryland.

In this session, you’ll gain a better understanding of rights to reasonable accommodations and modifications under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Housing Amendments Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. You’ll also improve practical skills and knowledge about how to write effective letters requesting reasonable accommodations, obtain needed resources, and enforce the right to equal access and benefits in housing!
