Service Dog Issue

[Rafael Norat]

Mind you that I will seek legal advise..

Has anyone had experience with service dogs as a landlord?

Here's the issue: I tenant of 2 years recently brought a dog home without notice. When confronted, she stated that the dog was a service dog for her disabled son. Her son does not reside or ever has at the unit. I believe he is in a rehab facility, but cannot confirm.

Does it matter that her son doesn't live at the unit? Of course she can say that he's coming home soon.

Any shared thoughts with previous experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
