More discussion on therapy animals...

[Anthony Wick]

I know there has been much discussion lately on allowing therapy animals. I have never been asked, until now. 

Phone Caller: Do you allow therapy animals? 

Me: Do you have the proper paperwork for said animals? 

Her: No, but I am working on getting it. 

Me: What kind of animals are they? 

Her: Two dogs. Pit Bull/Boxer mix. 

Me: I would consult with my attorney and insurance company. 

Her: Ok. Thank you. (hangs up phone)

So, did I handle this correctly? I did not state I would not allow her dogs. Nor did I say I would. She claimed to have no paperwork, but also didn't push the issue upon my answer. I obviously would not want to violate any landlord/tenant laws.

"We consider all applications that meet our rental criteria as units are available and as applications are submitted". 

This tells them virtually nothing. I don't think you handled it wrong, I just don't like answering hypothetical questions. Unless you have something to rent, and they're filling out an application, there's nothing to talk about.
