Tenants with disabilities

[Robert Arquilla]

So my first tenant is moving out after 9 months. I put my add out to fill the vacancy that’s coming up and have been getting a lot of interested and good quality tenants lined up to come look at the house.

However one case I have some questions about. I was contacted by a company who helps disabled people find homes to rent. They have care takers and a person who will come cut the grass and do tenant related maintenance.

My questions are (1) does the lease need to be through the owner of the company? She said she’s willing to do that and she pays the rent on behalf of the tenants. (2) I’m just wondering if she’s on the lease could that cause and issue since she’s not living in the house the disabled tenants are? (3) Is there extra insurance I need? (4) anything I’m not thinking of?

I understand I have to allow them to make the house accessible if they require that and I’m not discriminating against them just not sure how that whole process would work as far as doing a normal screening.

Thanks for the help!
