legal responsibility for handicap entrance??/SFR
I have a SFR that is not set up for handicap access. I just had someone ask me if they could set up a handicap ramp if they were to be accepted as a tenant. What responsibility do I have as a landlord to provide handicap access? As it is now, it is definitely not handicap friendly. Gravel driveway, steep steps in the front, would have to roll through uneven clumpy grass to get to the back entrance. which still has a few steps. Please don't get me wrong, I think handicap options are definitely needed more, but just wanted to know what my legal responsibilities are as a landlord. I don't know if this matters, but we only own 2 investment properties.
