What are some examples of undue hardship?

Can you give me some examples of undue hardship?

Sure! Undue hardship refers to significant difficulty or expense that would be caused by accommodating someone. For instance, a small business might face undue hardship if it has to make extensive renovations to accommodate a disabled employee.

What about in a housing context?

In housing, an example could be a landlord who is asked to make major modifications to a rental unit for a tenant with disabilities. If the modifications would cost a substantial amount and affect the property's value, it might be considered undue hardship.

Are there any legal cases that illustrate this?

Yes, one notable case is U.S. v. California Mobile Home Park Management Co., where the court ruled that the cost of making a mobile home park accessible was an undue hardship for the owner.

How is undue hardship determined?

Undue hardship is typically determined by considering factors like the cost of accommodation, the financial resources of the entity, and the impact on operations.
