restore the wide doorways, that were installed for his wheelchair, to the original size.
Explanation:
When a tenant leaves a property, he must restore it to the same state as when he entered it. But some exceptions may apply:
All the improvements done to the property belong to the landlord and if he decides to keep them, the tenant will not be required to remove them.
Some improvements, like increasing the width of a door, are not detrimental to future tenants, therefore the tenant is not required to restore them to their original condition.
