Under the Federal Fair Housing Act (as applied in New Jersey), landlords must permit disabled tenants to make reasonable modifications to the premises at the tenant’s expense, such as installing ramps or grab bars.
However:
The landlord cannot charge additional fees (answers A and B are discriminatory).
The landlord cannot prohibit installation of necessary accessibility aids (answer D is illegal).
The landlord can require the tenant to restore the property to its original condition upon vacating, which includes removing modifications such as ramps if they were installed.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
