Depending upon the type of housing in which the tenant resides, their right to a reasonable accommodation falls into one or both of the following statutes:
The Fair Housing Act applies to all forms of housing, whether for sale or rent. The exception to this rule include (a) buildings with four or fewer units where the landlord lives in one of the units, and (b) private owners who do not own more than three single family houses, do not use real estate brokers or agents, and do not use discriminatory advertisements.
A tenant requesting an animal in a no pet property is required to provide to the landlord, manager or owner in writing a request for a reasonable accommodation. The request should state the tenant has a disability and explain how the requested accommodation will be helpful and necessary in order to use and enjoy the rental property. In addition, the tenant should include a note from his or her service provider, such as a doctor or therapist, verifying the need for the support animal.
If for any reason, a landlord or property manager believes additional information or verification needs to be obtained consulting an attorney is advisable.
