Potential Violation of Rental Restrictions

Question:

My next condo owner passed away recently. She has been caring for and living with her son who is 52 and has Hearing Disability and other minor disabilities. We were told that due to the Fair Housing Act he can remain in the unit due to his disability.

What is your view on this happening?

Answer:

Hi James,

The Fair Housing Act prohibits owners from refusing to sell, rent, or negotiate for housing based on disability. Hence, owners and associations should give equal opportunity to the disabled to access housing. Here is a resource that might help: https://clarksimsonmiller.com/fair-housing-for-hoa/
