Actually I have far more questions than answers!

My biggest headaches lately come from the “service animal” “companion pet” “emotional support animal” issue. It is getting out of control .

Just had a doozy. Tenant has a trampoline for his autistic son who needs it for therapy. Doctor’s orders. Insurance company is dropping policy as they normally do when there is a trampoline found on the premises.  I have a group of big time FH experts and litigators in the country I consult with on this stuff and no one has an answer and sadly, I feel they like the ambiguity as it creates business for them.

It would be nice if somehow we can get the Bar, National Apartment Association, all the Legal Aid groups, all the state Apartment Associations, other state Bars, National Multihousing Council and others to get some HUD guidance. It would help everyone on both the tenant and landlord side. I don’t care what they decide or say, I just want them to say something we can go by. My advice is almost always to allow the animal but this advice could be dangerous when the insurance defense people and condo and homeowner’s associations take the opposite position.
