Answer:
This is part of the reasonable accommodations required by the Americans with Disabilities Act. If the landlord refuses you can request that your landlord be investigated for discrimination.
The Fair housing act applies to all types of housing, including public housing, except:
- Rental dwellings of four or less units, where one unit is occupied by the owner;
- Single family homes sold or rented by the owner without the use of a broker;
- Housing owned by private clubs or religious organizations that restrict occupancy in housing units to their members.
