[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there something that you believe the complex should be doing, something that’s reasonable? E.g. allowing you to relocate to another floor or supporting a reasonable request for padded carpet flooring? Just expecting everyone else to ignore the noise entirely is not reasonable.

Reasonable accommodations are exactly that - reasonable.

An assigned parking space may be reasonable but not sure how that would help? Why did you mention that one?

Did you have anything in writing in your lease that the noise restrictions don’t apply to you? Like a modified lease?[/quote]

Fair Housing Act does not require disabled people to negotiate modifications to their lease in anticipation of difficulties.  An apartment building is obliged to make reasonable accommodations whether or not you negotiated some special exemption to noise requirements.

Yes, the definition of what’s reasonable depends on the specific facts of the aituation, but reasonable is also sufficiently broad that a person with a disabled child that makes noise probably has some leverage/defense against eviction.
