As a landlord, I can't afford to be a charity and I wouldn't be in business long if I allowed every sob story to put off payments.The facts seem to be different in this case.

I gave permission for a charity group to install a chair lift for one of my long term tenants; however, I realize I will end up covering cost of removal, but we plan to renovate when they leave, anyway.

If it were me and I had to take it, my first attempt would be to sell it for whatever I could get for it, option 2 I'd dig into the legality of a bit more but I'd donate it to a charity/ nonprofit I DON'T like just for the tax deduction and burden them with the property taxes.

Donating an income property such as a house or apartment building to a charity, for example, might leave some charities wondering what to do with the gift.

Again, it's good practice to offer a commission to a buyers agent but you're in the business to make a profit not run a charity.

Would the entity that you are making the donation to give you a charity donation receipt?

I would be happy to donate it to a charity or give it to someone who wanted it, I just didn't know if I was able to without titling it and such. 

This is going to sound selfish but remember you are a real estate investor who makes their livelihood out of this business and not a charity.

That way I don't end up running a charity :)

The way you get rid of all of this is to have a business and not a charity.
