Question: if the units or homes owned are not handicap equipped does the law then force landlords to absorb the cost of remolding that would be highly specific to disabled persons?

If I lived somewhere, and they increased my rent by $25, BUT, they had a landscaper there every weekend keeping things nice, and they kept all of the common areas clean with updated equipment, etc, then I would be able to see and appreciate the benefits of my increased rent. 

If you get used equipment you replace it more often.  

The one problem we have had is that the tenant took off with our monitoring equipment when he moved. 

No spray equipment like with some others.

Conversion to natural gas from propane should be fairly straightforward, since the basic equipment remains the same.  

You are simply stating that because you have not gone through the inspection process, that you are not equipped to accept a section 8 tenant. 

You would be required to pay for him equipping a new place for handicapped access, you would be required to pay for storage of all his belongings while he acquired new housing. ( ** Reference below)And finally, you will have to pay the tenant $10,000 to $50,000. $10,000 if they believe this is your first offense, $25,000 if your second, $50,000 if more then two offenses.

If everyone watched that movie as a cautionary tale before becoming a landlord, new investors would be much better equipped. 

Service dogs are not pets, that are medical equipment and are defined so by law.
