Deaf Tenant wants strobe smoke alarm ADA law

I have a new tenant who is deaf. He has complained a regular smoke alarm won't work for him and wants me to buy an alarm with a strobe light. These cost a hundred dollars or more! Does anyone know what the law is? Am I required to purchase one?

Nationally, the ADA requires landlords to allow disabled tenants to make reasonable accommodations, such as visual smoke alarms for the deaf, but the tenant must pay for them, and the landlord may require the tenant to restore the rental property to its previous condition. I don't know if Indiana has any more specific laws than that, but I doubt it, as the ADA is pretty comprehensive and is considered the standard.
