reasonable modifications to a dwelling which he or she occupies or will occupy
if:
(1) The person with the disability pays
for the modifications; and
(2) The modifications are necessary to
ensure that the person with the disability may use and enjoy the dwelling; or

policies, practices or services if those accommodations are necessary to ensure
that the person with the disability may use and enjoy the dwelling.
2. A landlord may, as a condition for the
authorization of such a modification, reasonably require the person who
requests the authorization, upon the termination of his or her occupancy, to
restore the dwelling to the condition that existed before the modification,
reasonable wear and tear excepted.
3. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 4, a landlord may not increase the amount of a security deposit the
landlord customarily requires a person to deposit because that person has
requested authorization to modify a dwelling pursuant to subsection 1.

modify a dwelling pursuant to subsection 1, the landlord may require that
person to deposit an additional security deposit in addition to the amount the
landlord usually requires if the additional security deposit:
(a) Is necessary to ensure the restoration of the
dwelling pursuant to subsection 2;
(b) Does not exceed the actual cost of the
restoration; and
(c) Is deposited by the landlord in an
interest-bearing account. Any interest earned on the additional amount must be
paid to the person who requested the authorization.
