Pet Policy With Multiple Tenants

[Jimmy Prudente]

I have roommates living in one 3BR unit and one claims to have Anxiety and asked to get a pet (bunny) to help with anxiety. But now her roommate has one too. Lease says that there is a pet fee but its considered discrimination for not letting one if it is for diagnosed anxiety.

But got a text from her roommate saying that they each have one. Has anyone encountered this before and is it considered discrimination to charge a pet fee to one roommate and not the other if one if for medical reason and the other is just to have a pet?

Any info or guidance would be great.
