REQUEST FOR REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION/MODIFICATION
FORMS AND PROCEDURE

RentPPM will provide reasonable accommodations and modifications for qualified individuals, persons with disabilities, as defined by law. Accommodations are changes to our rules, policies practices and procedures. Modifications are changes to the physical structure.

All requests for reasonable accommodation/modification must be in writing to be considered. The following is what RentPPM considers after receiving a written request for a reasonable accommodation or modification.

Is the individual (or the intended tenants of the housing) which is the subject of the request, qualified?

Management will review your request to determine if the individual is a person with a disability as defined by law.

Is the request for an accommodation or modification necessary?

Your request will be reviewed by Management to determine if the request pertains to the disability and is necessary. Confirmation of your disability may be requested to be provided by a medical health professional.

Would the requested accommodation or modification impose an undue financial or administrative burden? Who pays?

RentPPM will not approve any accommodation or modification that imposes an undue financial or administrative burden to the company. Reasonable modifications of the existing premises, once approved, will be permitted at the disabled person’s expense. Accommodations, exceptions in rules, policies, practices and services, if approved, will be at RentPPM’s expense.

Would the requested accommodation or modification require a fundamental alteration in the nature of our operation?

RentPPM will not ask about the nature or severity of the disability in question. RentPPM will only consider whether or not the request is ‘reasonable’ in terms of cost and alteration of our property and/or policies. We may ask questions which will clarify what it is about the policy, practice or procedure that serves as a barrier so that we may offer an alternative ‘solution’ if the requested accommodation is not ‘reasonable’. We will not attempt to determine whether or not the request is necessary for the individual(s) in question. That is up to the individual and their advisors.

Following are draft forms which serve two purposes:

1. Determine that an individual (or the prospective tenants) are qualified under the law for a reasonable accommodation/modification, and

2. Verify that what is being requested is consistent with the needs associated with the individual(s) and their disability.
