In a lease prohibiting alterations, which statement is true about a tenant who cannot access their apartment?

The landlord must provide alternative accommodation
The tenant can make alterations without permission
The tenant must live with the accessibility issues
The landlord is responsible for necessary modifications

The correct answer is: The landlord is responsible for necessary modifications

In a lease that prohibits alterations, the statement that the landlord is responsible for necessary modifications is correct because landlords have a legal obligation to maintain a habitable living environment. If the apartment is inaccessible due to issues such as structural problems or safety hazards, it is the landlord’s responsibility to address these issues. This includes making necessary modifications or repairs to ensure the tenant can safely and effectively access their apartment. While the lease may restrict the tenant from making alterations without permission, this does not absolve the landlord from their duty to provide a livable and accessible space. The tenant cannot be expected to tolerate significant accessibility problems indefinitely, particularly when those issues arise from the landlord's duties to maintain the property. In contrast, the other options misinterpret the responsibilities regarding the lease terms and landlord obligations, leading to misunderstandings about tenant rights in relation to accessibility issues.
