Emotional Support Animals in a rental property LEGAL Question

Ray Slack

Posted

I have a rental questionnaire that asks if the tenant has any Pets, Any Service animals or any Emotional support animals that will be living in the property. The tenants sign the application states that everything is true and correct under penalty of perjury.  I understand all the laws and rules for ESA and service animals. My question is if a tenant fills out an application and lies about having an Emotional support animal then I later find out after accepting their application they do have an ESA can I reject them as tenants for lying on their application under penalty of perjury? I would not deny a tenant that has a service animal or a ESA but I feel that lying on a legal application that clearly states it's under penalty of perjury is clearly someone I don't want to be in a business (landlord/tenant) relationship with.
