As a Landlord in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it is important to be cognizant of Fair Housing Laws as they relate to discrimination and the implementation of reasonable accommodations and/or reasonable modifications. Fair Housing laws prohibit discrimination on grounds of disability, and also requires Landlords to allow an individual with a disability equal use and enjoyment of their Unit. Under Fair Housing Laws, an individual with a disability is one who possesses a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, who is regarded as having such an impairment, or with a record of such impairment. As such, a reasonable accommodation can often times be required in order for such a resident to use and enjoy their housing equally to a resident who does not possess such disability.
