When possible - tenants should have completely separate equipment and billing.

It is considered a piece of medical equipment.

I would just turn it over to collections, they are better equipped to perform a skip trace, and it is unlikely you will collect any of it anyhow.

Even so, I would create an addendum to the lease that indicates that the tenant is responsible for maintaining the equipment, paying the monitoring fee and uninstalling it when they vacate.

Great sounds good just want to do my homework before calling or contacting anyone so I'm better equipped to deal with the situation.

Not only am I already pretty equipped to do this, it will be a nice practice run for when I get my first rental property:)

There is no reason one could not work construction without safety equipment but there are proven valid reasons for being safe.

It's also important to teach tenants how to prevent clogged drains, how to shut off the water and natural gas, how to keep water from going where it shouldn't be going, how to keep the safety equipment working, etc. 

Please Scott, seek proper legal counsel and not someone's opinion who may be ill equipped to comment on such a serious matter.

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?
