FERREN, Senior Judge:
This case presents the question under the federal Fair Housing Act whether the trial court erred in denying a tenant the opportunity to defend her landlord’s action for possession by claiming discrimination — namely, the landlord’s failure to provide a “reasonable accommodation”— based on her alleged “handicap” (mental impairment). We disagree with several of the trial court’s rulings and thus reverse and remand the case to the trial court for further consideration of the tenant’s request for accommodation.
