MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for Thursday, March 29, 2018, Line 7. PLAINTIFF LAI CHAN'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT.

DENIED. Failure to provide reasonable accommodation and discrimination is a complete defense to this action. Plaintiff disputes additional Fact 39 (See Plaintiff's Reply 7:1-22), specifically whether request for reasonable accommodation was properly made and whether the accommodation could have been reasonably provided. Additionally, Plaintiff does not deny receiving a request and does not deny that Defendant received no response to this request. "If a landlord is skeptical of a tenant's alleged disability or the landlord's ability to provide an accommodation, it is incumbent upon the landlord to request documentation or open a dialogue." ?This obligation to "open a dialogue" with a party requesting a reasonable accommodation is part of an interactive process in which each party seeks and shares information."
