[RPPTL LandTen] Service/ESA animal issue

Wed Feb 15 11:55:09 PST 2017

Yes, maybe you would not take the case but this is after the landlord had to go through the entire process with the HUD office and complaint process spending thousands where the people investigating at HUD do not know the law, they do not follow the law and they act as an advocate for the complainant taking every word from the complainant as gospel. The HUD “investigator” then presents the respondent with a settlement offer which is some arbitrary ridiculous number plus a Fair Housing class and the respondent has to end up setting for something that they did not do in order to stop the bleeding of funds to a lawyer.

Having a landlord have to spend thousands of dollars to defend an allegation and finally win is a real loss to the landlord and tenants in general as this cost is passed on to all tenants eventually.

All because of vague Federal laws and no real guidance from the Feds.

It is a travesty.

As a tenant advocate, I wouldn’t use it unless the author is able to be present in court, testify under oath, and be subject to cross-examination.

$99 is all it takes to get one of these.

If FAR, every other state association, NAR, NAA, CAI, NARPM and  NMHC all got together, I feel this can be fixed.

This is absurd and should be a top priority.

On top of this, so many people are confusing the FHA with the ADA. 

They fixed this somewhat with the ADA but not the FHA.

As long as no one does anything, nothing will change.
