Why Moving a tenant to a first-floor unit at no additional cost when requested Is Correct

Answer A: Moving a tenant to a first-floor unit at no additional cost when requested

Transferring a tenant with mobility issues to a first-floor unit is an example of a reasonable accommodation (a change in rules, policies, or practices). It is a reasonable change in policy (unit assignment) to accommodate a disability without imposing undue hardship on the landlord.
