Lynwood — Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-91
It is unlawful to refuse to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices or services, when such accommodations may be necessary to afford such person equal opportunity to use and enjoy the dwelling, including public and common use areas.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Lynwood Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-91 establishes that housing providers are legally prohibited from refusing to make reasonable accommodations in their rules, policies, practices, or services when a person needs such accommodations to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy their home, including shared and common areas. The rule applies broadly to the full range of a housing provider's operational decisions, not just formal written policies. This protection is designed to ensure that individuals who require adjustments to standard housing practices are not effectively excluded from full use of their dwelling.

For Property Managers

Under Lynwood Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-91, compliant housing operators generally have a process in place for receiving, evaluating, and responding to requests for reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services. Operators typically document accommodation requests and their responses, and they apply an individualized assessment rather than a blanket denial. Maintaining clear internal procedures helps demonstrate that accommodation requests are being handled in a manner consistent with the equal-opportunity standard the provision establishes.

For Tenants

Lynwood Ch. 54 Human Relations § 54-91 gives residents the right to request reasonable accommodations in a housing provider's rules, policies, practices, or services when such changes are necessary for equal use and enjoyment of the dwelling, including common areas. If a request is denied, residents may have grounds to raise the denial as a fair housing violation through local or state fair housing agencies, or through a civil complaint process. Tenant-rights organizations and fair housing councils can help residents understand what options are generally available when an accommodation request is refused.
