Fair HousingIntermediateAlabama Exam

A disabled person asks their landlord for permission to add a ramp at the entrance of their unit. The landlord must:

ARefuse because ramps change the structural integrity of the building, though outcomes can differ depending on circumstances
BAllow the modification as a reasonable modification at the tenant's expense, and may require restoration upon move-outCorrect
CPay for the ramp as a reasonable accommodation
DRequire approval from AREC before granting permission

Why Allow the modification as a reasonable modification at the tenant's expense, and may require restoration upon move-out Is Correct

Answer B: Allow the modification as a reasonable modification at the tenant's expense, and may require restoration upon move-out

Under the Fair Housing Act, tenants with disabilities have the right to make reasonable modifications to their unit at their own expense. The landlord may require the tenant to restore the unit to its original condition when the tenancy ends (unless doing so would not be reasonable).
