Clarification from Pat on the Federal Fair Housing Act:

"The landlord may choose, where reasonable, to require the tenant to restore the unit to its original condition when the tenant moves. This doesn't apply to "Universal Design elements," where the general thought is that everyone could benefit from a change becoming a permanent part of the rental unit. For example, ramps are considered universal design, and probably would be required to stay a part of the apartment once added."
