Renting to older tenant

Hey gang. I live In california so I really need to ask as anything goes in this state it seems. I’m currently trying to fill one of my rentals. I believe I have found a one of a kind tenant. Self proclaimed clean freak etc. yada yada yada She appears to be older possibly late 60’s unsure as I haven’t gotten her to fill out an informational yet. She has a record or long tenancy previously. She’s relocating due to owner selling the property. I expect in theory to have her there for quite a while as long as she is happy living in my rental. My question is: as an aging tenant and although she is healthy now, if she were to develop a disability due to aging am I supposed to make accommodations for her such as adding wheelchair ramps or converting bathroom showers and tubs to better suit a disabled person? My wife brought this up and bursted my bubble. Like I said she SEEMS to be a perfect tenant in theory. As an aside I have another couple which atleast told me to my face they only want to stay there a max of 2 years. I’ve screened a few prospects and these two are the ones that rub me the right way. Lol thanks in advance!
