I have a 68 yo tenant that has health issues that has lived in my 100 yo house that has been made into four units for six years.
She has had numerous operations and after the last one she came home without first going to rehab mainly because insurance would not pay for it. All the therapy is being done at her apartment.
Do I have to pay to install railings along the walkway from the house to the apartment for just her?
Thanks,
A member for over 20 years --73.79.xx.xxx |

Yes. ADS requires you to make a property accessible.Rental properties fall under Title 3 requires that public accommodations remove "architectural barriers" and "communication barriers" that are structural in nature in existing facilities when it is "readily achievable" to do so. --71.75.xx.xx |

It should also be noted:
Federal Fair Housing Act
Section 804(f)(3)(A) .
Fair Housing Act requires a housing provider to allow
a 'disabled' tenant, at their expense, ( by a licensed contractor) to ask for a reasonable modifications of existing premises if they may be necessary to afford such person full enjoyment of the premises or dwelling.
Modification means a change to a structure that will allow physical access to a person with a disability.
This requirement is applicable to the interior of a disabled person’s dwelling and access.
Please Note: The Fair Housing Act makes clear that such modifications will be
the financial responsibility of the disabled person making the request.
Approval:
A person seeking reasonable modifications must seek approval from their housing provider before making the modifications.
Restorations:
The landlord can require that the tenant make reasonable payments over a period of time
into an account to ensure that funds will be available to pay for the restorations prior to or at the end of the tenancy.
The total of such payments should not exceed the actual and completed cost of the restorations

Considering the result of the aging person it would be proactive to estimate the restoration work and hold it with the security deposit - when this person expires so does your chance of getting paid for the restoration. --76.188.xxx.xx |

Translated that is she can ask you to allow her to make things easier but she has to pay for it. --73.178.xxx.xx |

To follow up on what Ally said, at move out - the resident would be required to shift things back to the way they were before the moved in at move out
My general experience, if a resident goes out of pocket or has an agency do the work - they are not going any where and time soon --72.23.xxx.xx |

OK, Though I really don't want her to stay any longer. She really does not have a lease any more and her health is only going to get worse. I have also put off major improvements to avoid disturbing her and raising her rent. --73.79.xx.xxx |

If "all the therapy is being done at her apartment" that means she is getting home health. Talk to the tenant and have her request a HOME HEALTH SOCIAL WORKER come talk with her about her living situation. This is an ideal opportunity to get a professional involved in helping her transition to a more appropriate apartment. Explain that she has been at below market rents and you have been holding off on improvements, but that you can no longer afford to do this. Hopefully, the social worker will be able to get her into senior disabled apartments that better suit her needs and budget. --98.146.xxx.xxx |
