Forum / Tenant Screening/Advertising / Rental applicant with Alzheimers diagnosis

I have received a rental application from the sons of a woman who was diagnosed with Alzheimers about 3 years ago. The sons want to move her closer to where they are. They intend to visit her regularly but she will live in the house alone. I checked with the Alzheimer's support and did not receive a response. I am wondering how to deal with this. I have other applicants in addition to this one. If I decline her application and accept a different applicant am I discriminating? What is my liability if something happens to her in the house? Has anyone had this experience? Thanks, MEH

RE: Rental applicant with Alzheimers diagnosis

I think, you are not discriminating. It would be better, if you will select the application of other applicant. I use property management services from Hunter Rentals&Property Management, they handle my rental apartment and take care everything on my behalf.
