I have a tenant who is, i think, trying to learn to be a 'professional tenant' and she wants to learn on me.
In just 5 months she has run off two handymen working on her place, called the cops on a friend of mine (I do not live in the neighborhood) and told the sherrif that yet another handyman broke into her place. (He didnt) Among other things, she now says that I must comply with ADA rules and (at my expense) install motion sensors in the open carport and install a ramp.
She is somewhat disabled, but when I see her she moves just fine and is not in a wheelchair but using a cane occasionally. I have not seen the cane...
This is not an apartment building but a mobile home in a small town and on a large lot.
The carport is open on all 4 sides.
Ive researched this and cant find an answer...
What Im seeing is that I must be amenable to allowing modifications, but it doesnt say that I have to pay for them.
This is a section 8 tenant who has also violated her lease by allowing an overnight guest for more than the lease allows. I was advised to send a letter stating that I will Not allow this, that is is a violation of her lease, and that I want further assurances that it will stop.
She will likely tell me off...and I will not be renewing this lease either.
Any inupt is appreiated.
TIA
