Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), which condition qualifies an individual as a person with a disability?

Under the Fair Housing Act, the definition of an individual with a disability is linked to the presence of a substantial limitation in one or more major life activities. This aligns with the broader legal framework that recognizes disabilities as encompassing physical and mental impairments that significantly restrict a person's ability to perform everyday tasks, such as walking, seeing, hearing, or working.

Therefore, an individual who is considered to have such substantial limitations qualifies for protections under the FHA, ensuring they have equal access to housing and related services. This definition emphasizes the functional impact of the disability rather than the specific condition itself or its duration.

Other choices, like being unable to work or experiencing temporary health issues, do not meet the criteria set by the FHA. The inability to drive is also not inherently related to qualifying as a person with a disability under this law, as not all disabling conditions limit one's ability to drive. The focus remains on the major life activities and the extent of limitations they impose.
