Emotional Support Animals and pet deposit

[Bill Rogers]

Has anyone ever had to deal with tenants and emotional support animals (ESA)? I have a potential tenant who I am screening now who has an emotional support animal. This is the first time I have ever had to deal with a scenario like this. I did a little research and found out that I can not collect a pet deposit because technically it's not a pet. Any suggestions on how to handle? Has anyone else been in a scenario like this? Thanks!!
