Having an elevator in an 8 story building is a reasonable accommodation, it's not an age issue, it's unreasonable to require a 5 year old or an 85 year old to climb those stairs carrying groceries. 

I'm realizing I need a good elevator pitch describing what I do and how I can help the person with whom I'm speaking. 

My suspicions were elevated when I " a friend of mine" happened to see some mail addressed to the sister being delivered to the unit in question.I stopped the sister one day and asked her point blank if she was living there now, and she said "no", that she was coming over to "hang out" and check on the place because her sister was staying with her BF.  

And no elevator (2 floors).  

The property I managed was a 26 unit, 2-story single building, no frills, no balconies, showers only, old building, high ceilings, no elevator, with mainly tiny studios (about 250 square feet).  

It takes a lot to maintain a high rise, especially with things like multiple elevators, underground parking, and pools on the rooftops.

No balconies, no laundry on-site, no dishwashers, no elevator (two stories).  

They had no balconies, no grass areas, no elevator (2 stories) no dishwashers, disposals, they didn't even get assigned parking as our little lot was not big enough for every tenant's cars or their guests.  

But, I might allow a portable raised bed like these:http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/vegtrug-ra...http://www.homedepot.com/p/Keter-Easy-Grow-Elevate...That way, the patio or ground under them doesn't get wrecked or plowed up, etc.  

I put it all in the ad - criteria and info about the property, including negatives (no dishwashers, no balconies, showers but no tubs, small parking lot and street parking, no elevator - but well maintained in good location, etc.), then went over it all before a showing.Kids are more destructive than pets.
