Fair Housing

An Ohio apartment complex refuses to accommodate a tenant's request to install a grab bar in the bathroom at the tenant's own expense. The landlord is likely:

AWithin their rights as property owner
BViolating the Fair Housing Act by refusing to allow a reasonable modification for a person with a disability✓ Correct
CRequired only to allow structural changes if the building is federally funded
DExempt because the building has fewer than four units

Explanation

The Fair Housing Act requires landlords to allow tenants with disabilities to make reasonable modifications at the tenant's own expense. Refusing a grab bar installation likely violates the FHA.
