TENANTS with DISABILITIES - You are LEGALLY Allowed to Install GRAB BARS

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, your landlord is legally obligated to allow you to make reasonable modifications including grab bars to your housing if you have a disability. Federal laws state that those who qualify as having a disability include "any person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; has a record of such impairment; or is regarded as having such an impairment." The reasonable modifications that are allowed are defined as any "structural modification that is made to allow persons with disabilities the full enjoyment of the housing and related facilities". Grab bars are empowering safety devices that would be allowed under the federal housing law as a reasonable modification. Call up your local Sarasota Grab Bar Installation Provider today and make your bathroom a safe place.
