When I dreamed of affluence circa 1991, it included the obligatory hot car (that I can buy a few times over now), lots of cheap women throwing themselves at me (my body would end up weighed down so deep in the Mon they'd never find it, I married a dangerous woman), and a lot of expensive stuff (me, a student of minimalism today).It also occurred to me that if my wife and I had kids, there was no way we could have asked them in 2017 to move into a leaking shack on the edge of a heroin ghetto, where a dude got shot just walking home in the alley out back in 2018, where the school system was ranked about as low as you can get for southwestern Pennsylvania (which is really saying something).

The government (so far) will not force you to live with people you don't get along with.Likewise, you don't have to subject yourself to the health risks.

And the owner is paying you not only to enforce common sense rules, but to understand the ADA and the proper & legal way to hande a request for a reasonable accommodation.Most city and county governments have a position called an ADA Liaison (or something to that effect) whose position exists to train local businesses and landlords on ADA requests and what is reasonable / unreasonable as it pertains to accommodations (often the same person that gives training once or twice a year at the local Board of Realtors, so you might even be able to reach out to them for a point of contact).Rather than operating in a vacuum, or taking your advice from a public forum, why not reach out to that person in your jurisdiction and get an opinion straight from the horse's mouth?
