Fair Housing
Under Oregon fair housing law, 'reasonable modifications' to a rental unit for a disabled tenant differ from 'reasonable accommodations' in that:
AModifications are changes to rules or policies; accommodations are physical changes
BModifications are physical changes to the unit; accommodations are changes to rules, policies, or services✓ Correct
CBoth terms are legally identical
DModifications apply only to commercial properties
Explanation
Reasonable modifications are physical changes to the unit or common areas (e.g., grab bars, ramps) that allow disabled tenants to use the housing. Reasonable accommodations are changes to rules, policies, practices, or services (e.g., allowing an assistance animal in a no-pets building). Both are required under fair housing law, and tenants typically pay for physical modifications (and may restore at move-out).
