Any apartment which has been modified to accommodate a disabled person would be considered an ADA modified apartment. The Americans with Disability Act, or ADA is a law which mandates that apartments must be modified to accommodate a disabled tenant. Any apartment that is subsidized by the federal government in any way, such as an LIHTC, requires that its owner pays for this. Conventional apartments, on the other hand, have the option of paying for it or allowing the tenant to pay for it, depending on the cost. Most ADA modified apartments are modified for wheelchair access, though many can be just as simple as having a raised toilet and grab bars.

If you are disabled and the apartment does not comply with ADA standards can the lease be broken legally?
It all depends. The US ADA law was passed in 1990. Buildings built before 1990 are exempt from many of the more expensive modifications (such as installing elevators and wheelchair ramps) unless they undergo a significant renovation project. The ADA requires that any modification that is "readily achievable" be made. So, for example, installing a $100 grab bar in a shower would be considered readily achievable. Installing a $100,000 elevator for a single occupant would probably not be considered readily achievable. For info on your situation, contact an attorney or the US Dept. Of Justice Disability Rights Section.
