What is a reasonable accommodation according to the ADA?

  1. A change in rent rules

  2. An exemption from discriminatory policies

  3. A temporary housing unit

  4. An increase in space for storage

The correct answer is: An exemption from discriminatory policies

A reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) refers to changes or adjustments made to policies, practices, or services that allow individuals with disabilities to have equal opportunities and access. An exemption from discriminatory policies falls under this definition because it ensures that individuals are not unfairly penalized due to their disability. The ADA aims to provide individuals the ability to participate fully in society, and exemptions can help achieve that by removing barriers present in existing policies. The other options do not align as closely with the intent of reasonably accommodating individuals with disabilities. Changes in rent rules could vary and might not directly address the needs of individuals with disabilities. Temporary housing units do not inherently make accommodations for an individual's disability and are more about providing shelter. An increase in space for storage is related to physical space rather than any adjustment to policies or practices that would help someone navigate or access opportunities afforded by the ADA.
