My family lives in a Section 8 Tenant-Based home and my husband is hearing impaired. Can I have my landlord install and pay for an alert light when the door bell or the phone rings?
You may ask your landlord for a reasonable accommodation to install an alert light when the door bell or phone rings. If your husband’s disability and the need for the alert light is confirmed by a third party (i.e., your doctor), your landlord is obligated to allow you to install the alert light, but you must pay for the light and its installation.
