That buyer or renter;

A person residing in or intending to reside in that dwelling after it is so sold, rented, or made available; or

It shall be unlawful to discriminate against any person in the terms, conditions, or privileges of the sale or rental of a dwelling, or in the provision of services or facilities in connection with such dwelling, because of a handicap of—

That buyer or renter;

A person residing in or intending to reside in that dwelling after it is so sold, rented, or made available; or

It shall be unlawful to make an inquiry to determine whether an applicant for a dwelling, a person intending to reside in that dwelling after it is so sold, rented or made available, or any person associated with that person, has a handicap or to make inquiry as to the nature or severity of a handicap of such a person. However, this paragraph does not prohibit the following inquiries, provided these inquiries are made of all applicants, whether or not they have handicaps:

Inquiry into an applicant's ability to meet the requirements of ownership or tenancy;

Inquiry to determine whether an applicant is qualified for a dwelling available only to persons with handicaps or to persons with a particular type of handicap;

Inquiring whether an applicant for a dwelling is a current illegal abuser or addict of a controlled substance;

Inquiring whether an applicant has been convicted of the illegal manufacture or distribution of a controlled substance.

Nothing in this subpart requires that a dwelling be made available to an individual whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals or whose tenancy would result in substantial physical damage to the property of others.
