HOUSING AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

If you require modifications to your property due to a disability, the landlord should accommodate this need within reason. The rent or deposit should not be increased due to a tenant having a disability.

Newer builds have a higher chance of accommodating those with disabilities. It may also be more difficult to make modifications to properties that are older.
