the alterations are at the expense of the other person; and
the alterations do not require any alterations to the premises of another occupier; and
the action required to restore the accommodation to the condition it was in before the alterations is reasonably practicable in the circumstances; and
the other person agrees to restore the accommodation to its previous condition before leaving it and it is reasonably likely that he or she will do so.
