Renting to Group Home for persons with disabilities

[Sendil Thangavelu]

Hello,

I have a rental property in Marion County, Florida. I was approached by a tenant who says they are licensed to run a Group Home for persons  with Disabilities. I have never rented my property  for such  a use. Has anyone had experience doing this type of lease?  CAn you pls share your experience?

1) What are legal considerations that I need to include in lease agreement?

2) What are insurance and liability considerations?

3) What are the pros and cons  of leasing to a Group Home for persons with disabilities?

Thank You

Sendil

@Sendil Thangavelu is it a staffed home, unstaffed?  what kind of disability?  Is your property suitable for the disabled? You have your insurance But I believe the business also needs insurance.  I haven't done it but you really need to know what group of disablled persons he is talking about what level of supervision. Cars,  no cars? how many cars if you have staffing? what modifications do they want to do if there are people who are mobility impaired.
