"We do not want her as a tenant as she is also in wheel chair." - Wrong answer! You may not discriminate against her on the basis that she is disabled. If she gets a copy of what you posted she will have evidence of this.
I grasp that she has created some bad feelings and has demonstrated not following the rules (no smoking inside, using other's trash bins, not getting their own trash out to curb). Those may be sufficient to deny renting to them but if you mention their disability then you will be on the losing end.
Side note: Getting trash to the curb - I doubt that you have a policy (or could enforce one) that required the tenant to personally transport his/her own trash to the curb. Your need is that the tenant GET the trash to the curb. So an 80 year old grandma whose grandson visits every week and transports the can for her to and from the curb would suffice. Your tenant needs to GET the trash to the curb and the empty container back. It doesn't matter how (s)he does it.
