for the past couple months while working on my fixer, on the sidelines had been dealing with alot of stray cats on the property (its a huge lot for the area) and 'catching' the feral cats and taking them to the shelter to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated then released and wished they were closer and so wonder why not get a shelter started in my city since theres none not even 1 that i could find after looking all over. heck even animal control is outsourced to the surrrounding city (long beach) and county (los angeles). of course wouldnt do it from my residence, so will need to start building credit up for occasionally ordering supplies and services (ie vaccines) for rescues in the future shelter, if this city allows for such. as for securing the shelter location i doubt i'd use mortgage or loan as i've so far always done fine enuf buying properties cash and somehow making ends meet, however barely.right now i dont even have a taxpayer EID. do non-profits need one?

However, once I explained to them in detail the situation and my legal liability they did say that if I could get the renter to provide things such as documentation of who trained it along with "service animal" papers, vaccination records, and so forth that they would cover the animal.

I would anticipate a leveling off or increase in prices once a vaccine is out, or the election is over, or whatever. 

I would wait a few months until the vaccine is available and eviction moratoriums are off.

Class B and C multi-familys do not normally see a significant downward pressure on rents even during a Recession because the foreclosure market empties into the Class B and C market for space.However - just take a look at the survey results Dave just did and you see that this situation is wrong-footing investors desire to proceed.The other thorn in the side of this prediction scenario is the labor market  and the lending market- we are going from a historically low unemployment figures at the end of 2019 to a sharp hike in this quarter due to Corona virus layoffs - areas where tourism is big may well be hit by this and you may  see it in the RE market .I do think there is  significant uncertainty about this scenario until a vaccine is found.

Also, I've already been vaccinated.

Proof of Up-to-date vaccinations 4.

Do you have a bite history and a letter from the vet signed saying they were given all appropriate vaccinations and spayed and neutered??

If they need to change from one service animal to another, then we fill out a new Service Animal Agreement.We also include name and contact information regarding the service animal's veterinarian and emergency care taker.Here is an excerpt from our Service Animal Agreement regarding other terms:"Tenant agrees to:1.Provide proper care for the animal in accordance with veterinary recommendations or ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) guidelines.See www.aspca.org.2.Not to leave the animal unattended for any unreasonable periods of time.3.Adhere to local ordinances, including leash, vaccination, and tag/licensing, requirements.4.Clean up after the animal and dispose of animal waste properly and quickly.5.Not to leave animal food or water outside the dwelling, as it could attract other animals.6.Keep the animal from being noisy, aggressive, or from causing any annoyance or discomfort to others.7.Immediately remedy any complaints that arise from animal behavior.8.Immediately pay for any damage, loss, or expense caused to others by the animal.9.Provide animal with regular health care, to include vaccinations as recommended by a veterinarian.10.Arrange for an emergency caretaker for the animal.Tenant agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord against all liability, judgments, expenses (including attorney fees), or claims by third parties for any injury to any person or damage to property caused by Tenant’s animal.Landlord reserves the right to revoke permission to keep the animal should Tenant break this agreement or provide false or misleading information."

Go ahead and get spay and neuter records from them provided by their vet and also their vaccination shots as well as any bite history.It might not be the animals fault and might be crappy animal owners that do not take care of their pets properly.
