A physical and/or mental condition which interferes with a life function. The definition of disability differs slightly under state and federal law. A person suffering from a disability may be entitled to a reasonable accommodation (or the right to make a modification at the applicant’s cost) under state and/or federal law, generally by reference to California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code 12900 et seq.) or the federal Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601 et seq.)
