One of the primary disabled renter's rights is a landlord is prohibited from inquiring whether a person is disabled in any way during the lease application process.
Another of the disabled renter's rights is that of the landlord making reasonable accommodations to ensure a disabled tenant is able to make maximum use of the rental premises. Reasonable accommodation includes providing the tenant an easily accessible parking slot.
A disabled tenant possesses the right to make reasonable modifications to the rental premises--at her expense--to render the property more usable.
When a renter is seeking a reasonable accommodation or to modify the premises, she must provide the landlord with documentation supporting the existence of a disability.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the National Fair Housing Alliance offer resources to assist in enforcing disabled renter's rights.
