**The landlord is primarily responsible for ADA compliance.** According to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), landlords are required to ensure their properties are accessible to individuals with disabilities. This includes making any necessary modifications or accommodations to meet ADA standards.<\/p>\n

Landlords must comply with ADA requirements when it comes to common areas of a property, such as parking lots, hallways, and entrances. They are also responsible for ensuring that tenants with disabilities have reasonable accommodations, such as installing grab bars in bathrooms or ramps for wheelchair access.<\/p>\n

However, tenants are responsible for ensuring that any modifications they make to the property comply with ADA guidelines. This includes modifications made within the leased space, such as widening doorways or installing accessible countertops.<\/p>\n

In situations where modifications are needed, landlords and tenants should work together to ensure that the property is ADA compliant. Communication and cooperation are key to meeting the requirements of the ADA and providing a safe and accessible living or working environment for individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n
