NRS 118.101 - Modification of dwelling by person with disability.


1. A person may not refuse to:
(a) Authorize a person with a disability to make 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
(b) Make reasonable accommodations in rules, 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.
4. If a person requests authorization to 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.
5. As used in this section, "security deposit" has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS 118A.240.
