In addition, the owner of the home must not own more than three single-family homes.3) They are unable to provide sufficient documentation, such as the emotional support animal letter, that verifies the ESA is necessary for their health and well-being.4) The tenant provides fraudulent documentation attesting to their need for an emotional support animal (usually a fake emotional support animal letter).5) The landlord can demonstrate that making accommodations for an ESA would impose undue financial burden or logistical burden. 6) The animal is destructive to the property or displays threatening behaviors that could put other tenants or yourself at risk.7) The size or nature of the animal makes it impossible to house safely or humanely.
