(b) relieve any person of obligations generally imposed on all persons regardless of disability in a written lease, rental agreement, contract of purchase or sale, mortgage, trust deed, or other financing agreement; or
(c) prohibit any program, service, facility, or privilege intended to habilitate, rehabilitate, or accommodate a person with a disability.
