What is a "reasonable accommodation" for purposes of the Act?

The only million dollar lawsuit I can think of that I learned of recently, was a woman in SF who successfully sued her landlord for discrimination based on her request for a reasonable accommodation, which the management continually denied for years.  

Obviously many small landlords have a desire to accommodate their tenants problems although I have no understanding of why.

I am currently studying home inspection and was with Justin on Monday at the Jeffersonville place and he was so accommodating and let me do the inspection with him!

I pondered whether or not a "reasonable accommodation" could ever come into play, that they need their MJ for their disability. 

HUD will want you to first try and accommodate, but if you can show you can't find affordable insurance, you don't have to take the animal.This is a great document that explains service animal laws in CA:http://www.disabilityrightsca.org/pubs/548301.pdf

In fact around here the number of older people looking for $450-$600/month rents are trending exponential.I have observed so many older people living in unhealthy disgusting accommodations because they can't or will not afford better.

I am not interested in jumping through hoops to get my home "qualified," it would likely delay the move in and therefore impact my income.Can I still hold the applicants to the same income requirements or am I forced to make accommodations for Section 8?

The law requires that landlords make accommodations for disabilities.  

You are required to make a "reasonable accommodation" for a disabled tenant, but you don't have to pay for modifications.
