In accordance with federal and California fair housing laws, you have the right to request a reasonable accommodation if you have a physical or mental disability that affects your ability to access or use housing.
You may request a reasonable accommodation if you need:
- A change in rules, policies, procedures, or services to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy your housing,
- A modification in the way we communicate with you or provide information, or
- A physical change to your unit or a common area to meet your disability-related needs.
All requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and EBALDC will engage in an interactive process to determine what reasonable steps can be taken to meet your needs.
To request an accommodation, please contact your property manager or leasing office.
