The Rule
PSI publishes the weight for the complete content area, not a fixed question count for this lesson. Learn the rule well enough to apply it when PSI changes names, numbers, or parties in a new scenario.
Complete lesson
Read each concept as part of one decision system. The exam often gives one accurate statement and three statements that belong to a nearby concept.
Protected housing activity
Fair housing covers advertising, showings, applications, screening, terms, services, rules, renewals, enforcement, and termination. Equal language with unequal treatment is still a violation.
Accommodation
A provider may need to make a reasonable exception to a policy when necessary for equal use and enjoyment by a person with a disability, unless a recognized defense applies.
Modification
A physical change can be required under fair housing rules, with responsibility for cost and restoration depending on housing type, funding, design requirements, and law.
Accessibility and ADA
Fair Housing Act design requirements apply to covered multifamily housing. ADA Title III may govern public accommodations such as a leasing office open to the public, while residential units are analyzed under housing law.
Decision rule
Georgia-specific distinction
Worked example
Scenario. A tenant with a mobility disability asks for an assigned parking space near the accessible entrance despite a first-come parking rule.
Reason it through. The request changes a policy to address a disability-related access need and does not automatically require structural construction.
Answer. Analyze it promptly as a reasonable accommodation request.
Common exam traps
- Calling assistance animals pets
- Demanding full medical records
- Applying ADA to every private unit identically
- Ignoring oral accommodation requests
