Pets. Assistance Animals. Emotional Support Animals. What’s allowed? What’s required? And how can landlords protect their property, income, and peace of mind without risking discrimination fines?
Join us at the next Landlord Focus Group as we tackle one of the trickiest topics facing property owners today: tenants claiming Emotional Support Animals to bypass pet policies. Learn how to distinguish legitimate requests from imposters, navigate federal and state laws, and implement systems to safeguard your property.
Discussion highlights include:
- Understanding the difference between service animals, assistance animals, and ESAs under ADA, HUD, and FHA regulations.
- Whether a strict “No Pets” policy can keep all animals off your property.
- Identifying which animals qualify as Assistance Animals—even the unusual ones.
- The only two questions you’re allowed to ask to verify an Assistance Animal.
- Proven strategies to reduce liability, protect income, and stay compliant with the law.
This is your chance to get real-world insights, ask questions, and leave with actionable strategies to confidently handle pets and ESAs on your properties. Don’t miss this essential session for any landlord serious about protecting their investments.
