Interesting Facts for Multifamily Landlords / Apartment Owners

150123_REA_HousingActivity

Did you know, that a tenant has the legal right to have a service animal, even if you do not allow pets on your property.  This is true and if you defy this law, you could be considered discriminatory against disabled persons.

Another interesting fact that segues from the above information.  Regardless if you allow or do not allow pets on your complexes premises, you CANNOT charge a pet fee for a tenant with a service animal, which presents an interesting loophole for tenants who can register their pets as service animals.
