Louisiana has a Medicaid Waiver program with individuals who have a physical disability looking for rentals.

A tenant with wheelchair disability filed complaint with South Carolina Human Affairs Commission against our multi-familty property (apartments) in Columbia for not building a ramp per her request.

It keeps getting loose from the floor and he said I (a disabled senior) move the toilet myself just to make him pay for a plumber.  

He was “disabled “ from a car accident .Was a bad experience .

The problem is that the law sets a very low standard, making it easy for anyone to claim a disability and have an animal prescribed.

I think Equal Housing Laws are great from a macro standpoint of "treating everyone equally" and the HUD rights surrounding people with mental or physical disabilities, but it's unnecessary for the federal government to micromanage landlords in the SFR and multifamily space.    

A landscaper recently took advantage of my 75 y/o disabled father in-law.

the demand will grow.. as far as apartments,, a 2 br can house the person handicapped and a live in care giver so I wouldn't make changes to anything myself if it wasn't at least a 2 Br unit.I'm not sure of the laws but we had a handicapped rental unit at a property I managed and I was told if we had an apartment available and anyone applied we would be forced to have the person living in the handicapped unit transfer, to accommodate the handicapped incoming tenant, if we moved in a non-handicapped disabled person into that unit,.. as long as we had a similar size apartment listed to rent.. so nobody in leasing wanted to rent that apartment out to someone that wasn't handicapped, because they knew it would just be a matter of time when they would be forced to transfer a tenant.  

One thing to mention - The Mother is on disability.  

Give tenants 12 months notice, 24 months if they are disabled or elderlyCreate your architectural documents (unit floor plans, site plan) Create your standard condo docs with an attorney (master deed, declaration of trust)Have a different architect come and provide a 'Statement of Condition' (this is the hardest thing to find - most architects will not be willing to take a small job like this - this is also only required in Somerville as far as I know) Complete an application to the condo board (meets once a month)Attend the condo board approval meeting, or have your attorney attendSubmit $500 fee per unit to the townPrior to closing, separate all utilities with separate meters (electric, gas/oil, even water in Somerville)All-in costs for 2 unit conversion...anywhere from $12k to $18k.
