Thank you all! The shower isn't slippery but I might look into a installing a hand rail on the wall side of the shower. I think my concerns have been answered with the steps

I would like to preface this by saying the answers I receive to my question have no impact on whether or not I rent to this individual.  I just want to know what to expect. I have 3 qualified people I'm showing my 1 bedroom house to. The first individual came and viewed the property already. He is older and I noticed he had difficulty making it up the 3 steps to get to the front door of the property. He insisted he needs no special accommodations to do so. If he ends up being the most qualified out of the 3 prospective tenants and I rent to him, what are your thoughts on the below questions. 

If he needs a ramp installed at a future date, whos responsibility is that? 

My other concern was the shower.  It's not your standard fiberglass shower.  Its an older shower that was originally part of a kit that was assembled back before I purchased the property. I thinks it's also smaller than what's allowed by the local codes. I assume this is a liability risk regardless.  The shower works fine, but I do not think the plastic side wall would be able to take a fall for example. Any thoughts?

Does anyone have any advice for landlords renting to people who are older who likely see the home as their last longer term residence? 

Anybody show up?

The meeting was good. Only two of us showed up. hopefully more show for the November meetup. I plan on being there

They aren't letting people sit in the sunken area so I reserved a table in the main room. 

Sounds good. I'll be there at 6:15 also. 

To my knowledge, there has not yet been a meeting. If at least one other person says they will attend, I will show up for the next meeting slot on Tuesday October 5th at 5:30. Anyone interested?

I'm down to start attending this meeting on a monthly basis at the time and place described starting Tuesday September 7th. Anyone else interested?

I'm also down to meet up. I own one 3 unit property in eureka.
