You can't evict them because even if the case goes to court, the judge won't allow you to evict a handicapped, senior couple, who happen to be victims of a mortgage fraud.

By selecting the most qualified candidate applicant, based on your screening qualifications, and by doing so eliminate a applicant with any type of handicap animal you are not discriminating.If, based on the flexibility of the guidelines for screening, a landlord can not find a way to exclude any and all applicants they wish, without openly discriminating, they have not thoroughly screened.If you do your job correctly you should have no fear of having broken any rules. 

For someone in a wheelchair, this might mean needing a handicapped unit, or someone with claustrophobia to be able to live on the first floor to avoid the elevator.But, you don't get to keep the family rottie just because you got in some landlord's face and waved around a service dog vest and certificate and letter he bought off Ebay.And remember, it's all about "reasonable" accommodation.  

My brother, David, just passed away July 2, 2016 and was intellectually disabled but lived on his own in an apartment with other mentally handicapped adults across town.

Unfortunately, I let my concerns about flooding distract me from the much more serious handicap of no, and I mean NO, parking.

Your adult child would need to be "physically handicapped or developmentally disabled." 

When they go MTM or sign new lease I would not give option,I use Erentpayment only, I may give other option to the digitally handicapped.

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?

I know that we need to allow for service dogs in NYS...BUT...here is what we put in our ad...We will consider a small pet with a $1500 security deposit and $25/month rent increase (we do not allow dogs in our other houses, but thought that we might try it this time with a $25/month increase and higher security deposit).A new tenant applicant (who I really want) thinks that I can't charge a higher security (normally just one month's rent) or the extra $25/month since she is handicapped and it is a real/official "service dog".What say ye????

Since we had built it out ourselves we had the luxury of making it handicap accessible all on one level.
