Well??? Who pays the Bills? The new tankless water heaters are great but initial set up cost is high. If the tenents pay the electric and you are currently paying for gas to heat water it maybe the way to go. Especially if this property is a long term hold.
Tankless heaters are good for saving energy, but can run out of water dutring a long shower (or working in the kitchen) with full capacity, especially in winter. I have used tankless heaters in Taiwan in condos, and liked it for small space it takes, but this problem is the reason they have not been popular and have to be promoted. So it may save you the money on gas but may create complaints from tenants
How does a tankless water heater run out of water? The whole concept is that it never runs out of water.
I have a tankless unit in my house.
It is great.
I know have an extra closet (where the old tank was), and the hot water can come all day. My 3 year old can stay in the shower for a long, long time.
If you are holding your investment long term (or the units you own in the complex you are on the board of), you should push for the investment.

Tankless will run out of hot water if it is not sized properly. Just like using a 40 gallon hot water heater for a 3 bathroom house.
