Would you allow Gas STOVE???

Possible tenant is retired (and is old school) and wants to bring his own personal Gas stove. We currently have an electric stove in place. I am fine with it but my own concern is obviously if he burns down the place with the gas stove. What are your thoughts? (Him and his wife will have a renter's insurance- we are requiring a minimum coverage unto $100,000 but might need to up that if we allow a gas stove). Would you allow that in your rental property (mostly laminate floor)? If so, what can I do to protect/risk mitigate fire/safety issues? 

Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is there even a gas line running to the stove? There is usually one or the other. I have a rental with a gas stove and don’t think there is that much more risk. Are they going to pay to have a gas line put in?
