I represent a landlord in an eviction, and received a letter today from legal aid, on behalf of a tenant, which requested a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and a local ordinance. The accommodation is the "acceptance of rental payments upon certain conditions and stipulations." We already filed the eviction long ago and would have gotten a default, had the courts not suspended them due to the coronavirus. Does anyone think there is any merit to this being a reasonable accommodation, or have any insight based upon receiving something similar before?

Thanks,

Jordan

Closest analogue I've seen is if the tenant is receiving disability checks that come after the late period in the lease. In those cases the property has to waive the late fee until the tenant has received their check as a reasonable accommodation.

If they're going for a broader "my condition physically prevents me from paying on time," that would be harder to justify. I can't see a doctor writing a note that the tenant medically needs an extra few days to pay their rent due to their condition.

I represent a landlord in an eviction, and received a letter today from
legal aid, on behalf of a tenant, which requested a reasonable accommodation
under the ADA and a local ordinance. The accommodation is the "acceptance
of rental payments upon certain conditions and stipulations." We already
filed the eviction long ago and would have gotten a default, had the courts
not suspended them due to the coronavirus. Does anyone think there is any
merit to this being a reasonable accommodation, or have any insight based

appear to be alleging that the disability prevented a timely rental payment.

Subject: Re: [RPPTL LandTen] Reasonable Accommodation - Untimely Rental Payments and Failure to Deposit Money in Court Registry

Closest analogue I've seen is if the tenant is receiving disability checks that come after the late period in the lease. In those cases the property has to waive the late fee until the tenant has received their check as a reasonable accommodation.

If they're going for a broader "my condition physically prevents me from paying on time," that would be harder to justify. I can't see a doctor writing a note that the tenant medically needs an extra few days to pay their rent due to their condition.
