TEXAS LANDLORD GUIDE

A reasonable accommodation workflow

Accommodation requests need an individual, documented response under fair housing law. A rigid blanket rule can create problems.

Short answer

Accommodation requests need an individual, documented response under fair housing law. A rigid blanket rule can create problems.

What to do next

Set one intake channel, limit information requested to what is necessary and record the decision and reason.

KEEP A CLEAR RECORD

Save the current lease, dated messages, receipts and any property-specific evidence together. A useful record shows what happened, when it happened and which document or rule you relied on.

Check the source

Rules may change and the right answer can depend on the home, city, lease and timing. Review the current official material before signing, charging a fee, sending a notice or making a legal decision.
