Plain English

Hesperia Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.040 requires rental housing operators to follow federal fair housing laws and to allow people with disabilities to request reasonable accommodations so they can equally use and enjoy their homes. Operators are prohibited from denying housing to someone with a disability, or attaching special conditions to their tenancy, simply because that person may need a reasonable accommodation. This rule applies to the accommodation request process itself as a protected activity.

For Property Managers

Under Hesperia Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.040, compliant rental housing operators maintain policies and practices that accept and process reasonable accommodation requests from applicants and residents with disabilities. Operators generally document incoming requests, evaluate them in good faith under federal fair housing standards, and avoid screening criteria or lease conditions that single out disability-related needs. Refusing to rent or imposing extra requirements on someone solely because they may need an accommodation is a violation of this provision.

For Tenants

Hesperia Code of Ordinances ch. 5.72 § 5.72.040 gives tenants and applicants with disabilities the right to request reasonable accommodations and to be free from denial of housing or discriminatory conditions tied to those requests. If a rental housing operator refuses residency or imposes conditions based on a disability-related accommodation need, that conduct may constitute a violation of this provision as well as federal fair housing law. Tenants who believe their rights under this section have been violated may consider filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting an attorney familiar with fair housing matters.
