I have a physical disability and need to park close to my building's entrance. The manager told me that there is a waiting list for these prime spots and I have to wait my turn. Can they do this?

No! Property owners are required to provide a reasonable accommodation to persons with disabilities, so that they can have an equal opportunity to enjoy their dwelling unit.  Sometimes, this may mean doing something different for the person with a disability – such as making an accommodation to a usual rule or procedure  You have the right to request a reasonable accommodation from your housing provider.  Contact the Fair Housing Office to learn more.

3. I own a two-family and am trying to rent out the upstairs unit. Can I state in the ad that only single people, or a married couple, can apply? My first floor tenant likes it to be quiet.
