Fair HousingIntermediateAlaska Exam

When a disabled tenant in Alaska requests to modify the bathroom to install grab bars, the landlord may require the tenant to:

AUse only contractors employed by the landlord
BRestore the unit to its original condition at move-out if the modification affects other potential tenantsCorrect
CObtain a variance from the city's building department
DObtain the landlord's approval for the color of the hardware, which most practitioners would generally accept

Why Restore the unit to its original condition at move-out if the modification affects other potential tenants Is Correct

Answer B: Restore the unit to its original condition at move-out if the modification affects other potential tenants

Under the Fair Housing Act, a tenant with a disability has the right to make reasonable modifications at their own expense. The landlord may require a reasonable restoration agreement, especially when the modification (such as grab bars in a rental) might affect future tenants.
