United States Ninth Circuit

The Fair Housing Amendments Act, 42 U.S.C. section 3601 et seq., required apartment owners reasonably to accommodate a tenant's disability by assessing individually the risk of nonpayment created by his specific proposed financial arrangement, rather than inflexibly applying a rental policy that forbids co-signers.
