Am I required to convert bathroom to ADA with new tenant?

I recently acquired a 16,000sf warehouse / office building complex. There is an existing tenant that is occupying all of the warehouse space and 1500sf of the office space.

I have a new tenant that is interested in the remaining 4500sf of office space. There are 2 bathrooms in the space and it does not look like either bathroom would be ADA compliant by current standards.

Would I be required to make one of the bathrooms ADA compliant before leasing to the new office tenant? 

Could there be liability in renting them the space if it is not ADA compliant?

The existing bathroom is 72" x 75" in size. See attached photo.

Note: We are not doing any other construction or anything else to the space that would require a building permit.

I would say you should be fine as long as you are not modifying the space at all. As Jeff said you are typically grandfathered in.
