Please give a reference to the FH laws that you say require accommodation without evidence of disability.

I also would like to see a statute where a landlord must "guess" as to a mental condition of a tenant and then make steps to address that condition.

    If you also had watched and listen to the posted video, you would understand what a landlord must do in regards of a tenant hoarder.
    No where did any statement made said a landlord must 'guess' a tenants mental condition. Such a statement shows your lack of Fair Housing Laws.

    If you come across a rental that looks as if the tenant is hoarding, once that thought enters your mind, then that tenant is regarded as having a disability and Fair Housing laws apply.

If you took the time to watch and listen to the posted video, you would not need to ask such a question.

    Then we, as landlords, must train ourselves to jump immediately to, "this guy is a pig and my property is not being kept clean & sanitary" and we must never let the word "hoarder" enter into our minds. I'm training my subconscious for that reaction now. And we must stop watching "Hoarders" on TV because that is just popularizing the term and making filthiness into some kind of recognizeable disability. BS
