Emotional Support Animal

Wendy S.

Happy 2023!

So I am about to rent to a Tenant with an emotional support animal. I've met the dog, got the physician letter, checked the registry etc. Upon further research I now see its good to ask for vet documents as well or records to ensure ESA is up to date on shots etc especially as he and his owner will be occupying a shared space.

So I need some help on the language to put in the Rental Agreement to include the ESA.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    @Wendy S.sorry to chime in with just a comment, but I had to since I just went through this nonsense. The emotional support animal deal is the biggest scam around. Theres not much you can do except not renew their lease after the term. Good luck. Best wishes!


     So just to be clear...you are stating you non-renew a tenant based solely on their support animal? So you are openly admitting in a public forum you violate the Fair Housing Act. Your anonymous last name here is subpoenable you know.
