Modification to unit to make it suitable for handicapped tenant?
I have a tenant who has lived in my unit for about 12 years now. He recently had a stroke and is requesting that some changes be made to the unit to accommodate him. Things like widening the doorways to be able to get a walker through, replacing the bathtub with one that has a door and installing handrails everywhere.
What are my obligations to this tenant? Do I have to pay for the modifications?

Here's a hellpfuul document from HUD defining what constitutes a reasonable modification and answering some common questions: https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/reasonable_modifications_mar08.pdf
