HUD Handbook 4350.3 § 2-46
the Premises

         A.       A person with disabilities has the right under the Fair Housing Act to make
                  reasonable modifications to any part of his or her unit or the related common
                  areas at his or her own expense.

         B.       In HUD subsidized multifamily housing, the Section 504 requirements placing the
                  responsibility on the owner to pay for requested reasonable accommodations,
                  including structural changes to the premises, supersede the Fair Housing Act
                  provisions placing the burden of paying for structural changes on the tenant. In
                  the circumstance where the requested structural modification to a HUD-funded
                  property does constitute an undue financial and administrative burden, and the
                  tenant still wanted that particular modification to be made, the Fair Housing Act
                  would then authorize the tenant to make and pay for the accommodation.
