I projected 5k for each unit to modernize/rehab and wouldn't be willing to accommodate additional expenses.

Competition that is willing to accommodate those sellers.Case to the point - I underwrote a particular property to $10M and so did two smart competitors.

It's controversial, with a lot of people protesting that nonlegal residents shouldn't get any kind of license or accommodation at all. 

The city (Ottawa) has undertaken a rental accommodation study - currently in consultation phase.

well for what its worth, the bar assoc article does go onto clarify:"There must, therefore, be “an identifiable relationship, or nexus, between the requested accommodation and the person’s disability.”

The way I read the law for my state is that landlords are only required to make reasonable accommodations.

I know this will not generate cash flow while we live there but as we improve the units and move out in a few years I suspect this house will cash flow well and be a good transition into a buy and hold.]The numbers:Purchase price $135,000Unit rents currently 400, 600, 800PITI $600The reason one of the units is renting for so low (400) is because the previous owner of the home (and 85 yr old woman) wanted to stay in the home until she died, so because of that we agreed on a low rate to accommodate her.

Renters Insurance will help the tenant if the feel they need other accommodations but I wouldn't allow any rent credit unless I had to displace them.

We understand this may be an inconvenience but we are willing to give you up to 60 days to find new accommodations and return your unit to us.

assemblers have often bent over backwards to accommodate reluctant sellers; often finding them new locations, paying their moving expenses, paying "bonuses" to decision making personnel (bribes), cutting sellers in for a share of any long term profits, etc.
