In sum, a reasonable jury could find that the landlord did not cooperate, as required by law, and thus never entertained tenant's counsel's representation — made later in the trial court — that his D.C. government witnesses, Sutton and Byrd, who had a client relationship with the tenant, could "satisfy" the landlord's need for an apartment cleaned on an "ongoing" basis. Furthermore, the trial court focused primarily on issues at the pretrial hearing that led to erroneous rulings against the tenant on grounds other than the reasonableness of the requested accommodation. Under these circumstances, we conclude that the tenant must be allowed to proffer her reasonable accommodation defense anew for trial court consideration.
