@Taylor L. Since I am not a section 504 recipient, it seems like the tenant is responsible for the cost according to HUD

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?

Does it make sense to include internet with the utilities (that I already pay) to possibly rent my units for more money than similar properties?

I am trying to do a better job of keeping my personal finances and my business finances separate. What is the best way to do this? I know I should have two different bank accounts.
Currently I bank at the local credit union. When I open a new bank account, for business purposes, should I use the same credit union? A big national bank? Does it even matter?
