Every year, disability advocacy organizations around the world celebrate Disability Pride Month. The month-long celebration is held every July in the United States to raise awareness and promote the various contributions of people with disabilities. In real estate, it is important to understand and support individuals with disabilities to provide them with safe and accessible housing. So as NCJAR joins the global community in celebrating Disability Pride Month, let's take a moment to look at how the real estate industry can be more welcoming to people with disabilities.
The Fair Housing Act (FHA) of 1968, as amended in 1988, prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all aspects of real estate transactions, including rental, sale, and financing of housing. The law requires realtors to make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities to ensure that they receive housing opportunities like everyone else. To comply, realtors must understand what constitutes a reasonable accommodation, how to request an accommodation, and the requirements and limitations under the FHA.
