Fair Housing
A Colorado property manager refuses to allow a tenant with a mobility disability to install a grab bar in the bathroom. Under the Fair Housing Act, this is:
AA. Legal, since the manager must approve all modifications
BB. Illegal, because the FHA requires landlords to allow reasonable modifications for persons with disabilities, though the tenant generally pays✓ Correct
CC. Legal only if the building was built before 1991
DD. Legal if the modification would damage the property
Explanation
Under the Fair Housing Act, tenants with disabilities have the right to make reasonable modifications to their unit at their own expense (in most cases). A landlord cannot refuse a reasonable modification, though the landlord may require the tenant to restore the unit to its original condition upon move-out.
