What is this letter generator, and why should I use it?

This reasonable accommodation letter generator is an online form that will help you draft a letter to your housing provider to request a change to your building or unit that you need because of your disability. This type of change is called a reasonable accommodation, and is sometimes referred to as a reasonable modification.

It is highly recommended that you put an accommodation request in writing, so this letter generator is intended to help you create a written message from you to your housing provider explaining why you are entitled to a reasonable accommodation. However, the use of this form does not guarantee that your housing provider will grant your accommodation request.

Who should use this letter generator? This reasonable accommodation letter generator is intended for New York City residents with disabilities who reside within one of the five boroughs (Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island).

Can someone help me use this letter generator and submit the letter for me? Yes! This tool is designed so that someone else can use the letter generator and submit the letter on your behalf. That person does not need to live in New York City, but they should be completing the form on behalf of someone who does.

The information provided in this letter generator does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice; all information, content, and materials are for general informational purposes only. Information may not constitute the most up-to-date legal or other information. Users of this letter generator should contact an attorney to obtain advice with respect to any particular legal matter. An attorney-client relationship is not created by using this letter generator.

You will be asked to provide your name, address, contact information, housing provider information, and details relating to your disability and need for accommodation. By using this letter generator, you are authorizing that the information you provide is accurate and truthful.

This letter generator is a capstone project of the New York City Environmental Law Leadership Institute (NYCELLI), an annual seminar for a select group of new environmental attorneys committed to leadership in the field and making a positive contribution to the City’s environment. The Institute is designed to inform, equip, and inspire new attorneys to take on key roles in improving the quality of New York’s City’s environment and the health of its residents.
