[WSBARP] Service animal verses covenants

[Craig Gourley]

Listmates, Looking for input on an issue that I am sure some of you have
already dealt with.  Condo declaration states no dogs larger than 20
pounds.  New owner acquires a dog substantially larger that barks all the
time and she does not clean up after it.   When approached by the Board,
she claims it is a service dog and the board can not touch her.  Her
"proof" that its a service dog is certificate declaring the dog is a "
registered emotional support animal"  from an outfit in Scottsdale Az
called  Register My Service Animal LLC. I know we can request a copy of
the prescription from a healthcare professional but those appear to be
easily obtained.   Any ADA experts out there willing to share if ANY rules
apply to this person or does she get a blank check for bad behavior?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
