Emotional support animals , Am I reading this right
This is the website I was reading https://www.nsarco.com/emotional-housing.html
It has a paragraph that states
Property managers/landlords are NOT required to make a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act for ESAs or Service Animals in these cases:
- Buildings with 4 or less units where the landlord occupies one of the units
- Single family housing sold or rented without a real estate broker
- Hotels and Motels are not considered dwellings under the FHA but are considered places of public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act
- Private Clubs
If I am reading this right , since I only rent single family homes , and I dont use a broker . I am not required to make reasonable accommodations . So , I dont have to allow these animals ? Am I missing something ?

It's those quick YES/NO answers that become over simplifications leading the naive into trouble - - which is why I try to link to authoritative resources :grin:
