If a property manager has two rental units, is it compliant to show only the ground floor unit to a tenant with a wheelchair?

The correct answer is that both units must be offered to comply with fair housing laws. Under the Fair Housing Act, individuals with disabilities have the right to access housing that meets their needs. This means that a tenant with a wheelchair should not be restricted to viewing only the ground floor unit, as they may also be interested in accommodations present in the second unit if it has features that could potentially be modified to suit their needs.

While the ground floor unit may be more accessible in its current state, the law requires property managers to provide equal access to all available units, regardless of the potential need for modifications in the upper unit. Thus, showing both units allows the tenant to make an informed choice based on their preferences and needs. Failing to offer both units could be seen as discriminatory and a violation of fair housing laws.
