YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS The federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, family status or disability. The State of Nevada also includes protections for ancestry, sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. People with disabilities have the right to request reasonable accommodations or modifications that will provide an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling. Examples include: ■ Waiving “pet” fees, deposits, and weight/breed restrictions for animals providing assistance/service related to a disability (including service, companion, emotional support animals) ■ Providing a reserved parking stall ■ Transferring from an upstairs unit to the ground floor ■ Installing a ramp (possibly at your expense) There must be an identifiable relationship between the requested accommodation and the individual’s disability.
