handicapped accessibility for long term elderly couple

Hi all,

Looking at an elderly couple for tenants but she has a bankruptcy Ch. 7 from a fused spine injury that ended her carrier.  Both FICO's look good, low debt, steady retirement income 4x the rent, previous references are great, looking long term.  My question is what is my responsibility if they go into walker or wheelchair mode.  Will I as a landlord be required to upgrade my rental to accomodate them?  Should I put in the lease words to the affect that this rental is not accessible, not responsible for upgrades, bla, bla legalease...or should I not deal with it and go with another tenant?  Thx
