CA Laws Regarding Companion Animals

[Jakeb Shelton]

I'm fairly new to the BiggerPockets family, so sorry if this is the wrong forum, or if this has been stated in another post, but better to know twice than not at all right? Anyway, I attended a NVPOA Companion Animals/Fair Housing seminar last night, and they had mentioned that there are a lot of changes being made regarding Companion Animals and what Landlords can/cannot ask for. Some of which are: - No longer able to require the animal to be spayed or neutered. - No longer able to require a prescription by a Medical Professional. - No longer able to limit "vicious breeds" i.e. Rottweiler, Doberman, Pit-Bull, etc for a Companion Animals request. - The person with the need for a Companion Animal can get a recommendation from almost anyone, and Landlords are not able to deny that accommodation. Those are just a few, I know there is more I'm missing from my notes, but this gives a little more information to look into. As per the speaker at the seminar; however, we have 2 rights, or reasons, that we can deny Companion Animals: 1. If service/companion animals alters your way of business. 2. Running wild/threatening others.
