What are your thoughts about this potential tenant

[Lamont A.]

I have a unit advertised for rent.. this applicant checks out as well as to be expected but my concern is that she uses one of those walker/sitting chair thing-gies ( sorry, that's my best description)

well my unit is on slab and don't have any high steps or stair areas but I don't want to open myself up to any of those (I've fallen and can't get up) type issues.

I currently do not have grab bars in the restroom or any other place on the property. I was not advertising the place as ADA housing or anything she just applied.

She appears to get around just fine without in the house and she says she only use the walker for long distance walks.

What do you think? ,, Would you take a chance on her?

Be very careful, you cannot discriminate against a handicapped or the perception of such. If she is a qualified applicant then she's a qualified applicant.

The ADA stuff if she requests it, can usually fall under a reasonable accomodation and you would need to comply with her requests ie grab bar, roll up ramp etc.
