What does YOUR lease say about modifications to the property?

In a trending post, a member's tenant is asking to install ceiling fans in the property. He claims his brother is an electrician, that they will purchase the fans, and the brother will install them for free. (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/706669-tenant-wants-to-install-ceiling-fans)

Many responses say "No, he rented it as-is. Do not allow tenant to make modifications to your property."

Sound advice.

What does YOUR lease say about property modifications? Do you go over that clause with your tenants?
