Q: I own a studio apartment complex. I enable my renters to keep lap dogs (approximately 25 pounds). I just recently learnt that a person of my renters is breaking the “lap dog” policy in a huge method: He has a 160-pound Newfoundland called Riley. Another occupant informed me that the dog barks while his owner is away. I spoke with the Newfie owner and recommended him he remains in infraction of his lease. I informed him he must either discover elsewhere to live or discover a brand-new house for his dog. He stated Riley is a Psychological Assistance Animal; he requires the dog to help him manage serious stress and anxiety. He stated he has a right to keep the dog under the Fair Real Estate Act. Riley’s a lovely dog, however does not my occupant need to show that Riley is trained which he is required? What are my alternatives here?

A: Initially, we question your occupant’s choice to keep such a big dog in a home, despite just how much the dog assists him with stress and anxiety. It’s unfair to the dog! Newfoundlands are understood for their mild nature, however they are social canines and might end up being nervous and dissatisfied if left alone– and after that they will bark and whimper (and might likewise end up being damaging).

Nevertheless, that’s next to the point at present. Prior to you enter into how the occupant ought to handle the barking and grumbling (and there are methods to help a dog adapt to its owner’s lack), your occupant needs to show that he has a right under the Fair Real Estate Act (FHA) to an exception from your normal dog-size guidelines. He requires to reveal that he is an individual dealing with a special needs which the existence of the dog is sensible and essential to “manage [him] level playing field to utilize and take pleasure in a home” (42 U.S.C. Sec. 3604).
