A letter from a Kansas-licensed mental health professional is the documentation behind a reasonable accommodation request — the step that lets a renter ask to set aside a no-pet rule, pet rent and pet deposits.
With roughly 96,400 residents, Lawrence in Douglas County is Kansas’s sixth-largest city. Renters across Downtown Lawrence (Massachusetts Street), Oread, East Lawrence, Old West Lawrence and North Lawrence rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
