E. For the purposes of this section, "discrimination" includes:

1. A refusal to permit, at the expense of the person with a disability, reasonable modifications of existing premises occupied or to be occupied by the person if the modifications may be necessary to afford the person full enjoyment of the premises, provided that, in the case of a renter, the landlord may, where it is reasonable to do so, condition permission for a modification on the renter agreeing, to restore the interior of the premises to the condition that existed before the modification, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

2. A refusal to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices or services if the accommodations may be necessary to afford the person equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling.

(ii) Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats and other environmental controls in accessible locations.
