Property Management
In Oregon, a tenant who needs to install a grab bar in the bathroom for disability-related reasons asks the landlord for permission. Under fair housing law, the landlord should:
ARefuse since structural changes are not permitted
BAllow the modification (reasonable modification), potentially requiring the tenant to restore at move-out✓ Correct
CAllow only if the tenant pays for the landlord's attorney review
DRefer the tenant to the county housing authority
Explanation
Under fair housing law (and ORLTA), landlords must allow disabled tenants to make reasonable physical modifications to accommodate their disability — including grab bars in bathrooms. The landlord may require that the tenant restore the unit to its original condition upon vacating (unless restoration would be unreasonable).
