This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

There are a lot of facts about your situation that are missing from your story that are needed to make an informed opinion, therefore, I believe it's not reasonable to expect to receive any actionable advice on BP.Since you also write you're in your 70's, I suggest you look for an attorney, or a recommendation from a federal, state, local agency or private interest group (AARP comes to mind) for an attorney who specializes in elder abuse cases.Good luck.

having an FHA before an conventional is not necessary.and good for you not using credit...trouble is that lenders need to see that you dont abuse the power when given it...it's ridiculous i know...

The Fair Housing Act is what applies to privately owned property (with the exceptions Bruce listed above) and it forbids discrimination against prospective tenants because of their disability as well as race, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), skin color, familial status, and national origin. 

Those are slumlords that ignore repeated warnings and fines or landlords that sexually harass their renters.You want to stay out of court?
