Structural Alterations for Accessibility Clause Samples

Structural Alterations for Accessibility. Prior to signing a lease agreement with the Corporation, a tenant views a unit and determines if the location will meet their needs. Occasionally a tenant=s needs change over the course of their tenancy. The Corporation will work with tenants requiring such alterations by exploring all possible and appropriate resolutions to accommodate their changing needs. There should not be an expectation that customization of a unit will occur automatically upon request. Such alterations must not create hardships for the Corporation, financial or otherwise, nor negatively impact other tenants= premises. Requests for structural alterations due to accessibility issues must include detailed drawings or plans in order to assess the extent of alterations required and the possible impact on other components of the building. This information will assist in determining if a structural engineer is required and also the type of contractor required. Documentation supporting the need for such alterations must also be submitted. The source of funding or funding availability will be considered along with any alternate accommodation the Corporation is able to undertake, such as a transfer to a more suitable unit. Sensitivity to the dignity and rights of the tenant will be the utmost consideration when determining whether or not to approve such requests.
