The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, and other federal laws concerning disabilities, define a disability as a physical or mental impairment of a person that substantially limits one or more major life activities (for example, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, learning, breathing, performing manual tasks, washing, dressing, preparing food, eating, keeping your home clean, working, and so on); or a record of having such an impairment (for example, a disability, such as depression, from which you have recovered); or being regarded as having such an impairment (meaning that people treat you as if you have a disability even though you do not).
