Fair Housing

BPay for the modification and restore the unit to its original condition upon vacating✓ Correct
CObtain the landlord's consent at the beginning of every lease term
DMake the modification only during the tenant's first lease year
Explanation
Under the Fair Housing Act, while a landlord must allow a disabled tenant to make reasonable physical modifications to the unit, the landlord may require the tenant to pay for the modification and, in some cases, to restore the unit to its original condition when they vacate. The landlord cannot charge extra rent for allowing modifications.
