<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The short answer is YES a person is allowed to bring his “service animal” to work under the ADA as an accomodation. (ie seeing eye guide dog). However a person is not allowed to bring a support animal to work.
(ie emotional support dog). The employee may only prohibit a service animal if it shows signs of aggression or causes extensive damages in which most cases the dog would most likely be replaced by the organization that trained the animal. I don’t know it
has change but an employer must provide an accommodation if it employ 4 or more employees (I think I would have to look it up). There are employees that do not meet the number of employees that are exempt from the ADA requirements.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I am writing today to see if anyone knows whether, under both the ADA and Florida law, a commercial landlord is required to allow a tenant’s employee to bring his service dog
to work at the building. I have found several resources on whether a landlord needs to accommodate members of the general public when visiting the building, but that analysis does not appear to address the question of whether the tenant’s service dog must
be allowed to accompany him to work on a daily basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I would greatly appreciate any recourses or guidance you have on this matter.
