@Peter Shutt with multiple windows this cost could quickly add up.

@Dan Heuschele thank you for your input so if I need to consider next go around it will be beneficial. I do have a 14 days notice to make adjustments if necessary. It's really days yet but ESA has been gentle so far. He did bark a bit when other roommate returned from vacation. Roommate was understanding as he suspected the ESA was smelling the other 9 dogs on him from his visit home.

I did notice the physician had an expiry date on the letter and when I checked the registry it seemed legit. As far as I know Georgia has no penalty for bogus ESA.

@Wendy S.

I probably should have given some context. Daughter had a friend over for Christmas who has an ESA. Because we have a no pets policy, daughter helped get ESA housed with a pet care agency which was good.

Friend disclosed that she needed a place come January.......I invited her to apply for a spot that would we empty in our basement Dec 31. However before I did this, I extended her stay with us from Christmas weekend to end of year and told her to go get her ESA. She provided her letter and supporting documents and I checked the registry and all seemed well. Dog was amazing and responded well to his commands and was loved by the household. So they move down to the basement tomorrow.

Yes full application was received like a regular applicant but ESA is new territory for me and I can perhaps see more into the future.

This is what I came up with:-

Tenant is allowed to have ESA NAME as an ESA prescribed by her physician. Tenant is responsible for said ESA, and is aware that any damage to Landlord's property, other occupants of the house, visitors and neighbors will be the sole responsibility of the Tenant for which damages will be sought directly from Tenant. Tenant further agrees to maintain proper medical records, and required treatment for ESA NAME to ensure that he is in good health and not a danger, or nuisance, to any occupants of the household, visitors and neighbors.

@Greg Scott

Thanks

@Ryan C.

Thanks

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

@Bob Stevens

Thanks. Pm for per room might be a service I will explore offering myself maybe later on. Difficult to find a PM now. I'm not upset, or overwhelmed it just confirms when you try to help, is kind and trying to help some people get back on their feet...

@John Underwood

We have been very understanding with Tenant, amidst tears we agreed to Dec 31st back in September.

@Theresa Harris. Good thing removing an unwanted Tenant is fairly straightforward here. 4 minutes drive to court office, file, 7 days to answer. Court or no show. Sheriff, remove you and your record is gone.

@Nathan Gesner

Thanks Nathan that's the intention. Believe me those are just half the facts lol.
