I quickly made an account because my partner got tired of me asking her to post questions.My question is: Currently, we are not required to build to ADA standards, but our unit is perfectly set up to be ADA accessible.

We have installed a permitted tiny house on the land, water meter. electric meter (that can accommodate a large house), and a 5 bedroom septic.

You can strike Gold or be dead in the water.

Problem is, the systems used are not standardized, even county by county, much less state by state.

She then got a message from the tenant yesterday that said: "I know the plumber came but we did not have hot water yesterday and again this morning.

In my area you dont apply as  "Landlord" once you have a section 8 tennat application they inspect your specific property to make sure it meets there standards. 

Including Water in Rent: Another option is to adjust the rent for each unit to include the cost of water.

A split level ranch in a standard neighborhood doesn’t cut it anymore.

If you have class C rentals, I like to use Traffic master Grip Strip Water Resistant Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring.

This means, no electricity and no water as the well can't pump - which also translates to you get one more flush on each toilet and then you are done.
