Persons with criminal records can be denied housing based on their criminal record. Housing providers are encouraged to review only convictions not charges. In addition, housing providers are encouraged to review documentation the household may provide that supports the unlikely event that an offense would re-occur.

Requests for accommodataions for persons with disabilities may be sought if the conviction is a result of, for example, a disability that was undiagnosed and untreated at the time of the offense.
