An Act to change and increase the state current minimum/maximum number required for handicap apartments in rental apartment’s complex, home and hotels including handicap reasonable accommodations modifications and diversity
HD 4305 would increase the required number of accessible units in apartment complexes, hotels, and housing developments across the state. It mandates reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities in public spaces and prohibits discrimination against renters with disabilities - particularly in luxury Boston complexes - based on disability, veteran status, or race. The bill also requires lenders to provide mortgage preapproval support for disabled individuals on disability income to purchase homes in Suffolk County, aiming to improve housing stability. This legislation directly affects renters with disabilities, property developers, and housing lenders in Massachusetts.
