Does the Fair Housing Act require any minimum number of accessible dwelling units?
No, the Fair Housing Act’s design and construction requirements do not require a minimum number of accessible dwelling units. If a building with four or more units that does not have an elevator is covered, all (100%) of the ground floor units must be accessible, and if the building has an elevator, all (100%) of the units in the building must be accessible. Other federal, state or local codes sometimes require a specified number of units to be accessible.
