5 Emotional Support Animals
Two individuals wanted my advice regarding my point of view as a landlord. One person has 2 animals and the other had 3. Because I am not familiar with their mental health, I did not question their need for so many animals. However, I did provide tips regarding the importance of keeping an apartment clean, being compassionate towards animals (space & resources), insurance, possible concerns regarding odors & flooring etc. I also mentioned the importance of being honest when seeking a rental. I instructed them to contact an agent in their state for additional advice.
However, this situation worries me. How can we maintain a rental if others decide to justify 5, or more, animals?
