Meeting with deaf tenants

I have a meeting on Saturday morning with some inherited tenants who are deaf.  I don't know sign language, so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on communicating with them in a positive, effective way.  It didn't seem like the owner had much to do with them other than initially placing them.  (They apparently weren't even told by the old owner that the building was sold!)

My objectives for the meeting:

- Sign a new lease

- Ensure that the unit has smoke detectors that sound + strobe (not just sound as that is not up to Fair Housing laws)

- Answer any questions they may have
