Handicap Options

BP crew, i have a question because I have not dealt with anything like it in the past. I have had a tenant in one of my multi-units for roughly 7 years now and have the past few months have progressively gotten worse in health. In fact, the last two weeks he has been in the hospital with congestive heart failure and 100% oxygen.

He has since made it back home and now has oppcuational theropy coming into the unit and providing assistance. One of the requests that the theropist had was to make the apartment more handicap friendly, i.e. grab bar in the bath and more saftey issues through out.

My question is, what is my responsibility with this? Should I put up the bar and other items or since it was not leased as a handicap apartment do nothing? Again, i have not had to deal with this situation before and just looking for advice.

Thanks crew.

Randy
