Thanks for the advice @Sam Shueh- I work in healthcare so I'm no stranger to bad treatment and terrible pay.

The woman is coming to  UF too switch from Dentistry to being a Radiologist.

The issue is that the landlord would be trying to require the tenant to disclose protected healthcare information.  

But, you can definitely require a health care professional put in writing that the tenant has a disability.So, you can require a form to be filled out by her doctor or health care provider, or to get a letter from them on their letterhead. 

If it doesn't GFTO of what you are doing as your job (even if its real estate), because being in the health care field, I can tell you that you don't know what can happen tomorrow.It always makes me sad to learn of someone that thinks that.

Generally any qualified health care provider can prescribe an emotional support animal.

We currently do travel healthcare, butte will probably stop shortly once we buy our first duplex.

they are disability assistance animals that are differentiated from pets by having been prescribed/recommended by a licensed healthcare professional (ie, physician or pscychologist/therapist).enter pet therapists. they might prescribe a pet (or petS) for xyz reasons. but the moment the pet is prescribed/recommended it seems a pet obtained or used for that purpose transforms into a support animal, and is protected under provisions of the ADA.with service and support animals, proof of need is required (especially in NO PET policy units/buildings) in order to document that we are not discriminating against any other tenant(s) that may want to have an animal as a pet (as opposed to as a service or suport animal).enter the likelihood that we will likely be given a prescription or recommendation letter that at bare minimum will indicate the tenant has some sort of disability, plus may or may not share what physical, health and/or psychological condition(s) the animal was indicated for, or in the case of more than one support animal, which symptom each pet assists with.a predicament?

Obesity and overindulgence overall, comes to mind:http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/07/obes...Study: 86 Percent of Americans Could Be Obese by 2030"Most adults in the U.S. will be overweight or obese by 2030, with related health care spending projected to be as much as $956.9 billion, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.Their results are published in the July 2008 online issue of Obesity."

Great shopping, though :-)  But, the economy there is based mainly on retail, and some healthcare facilitites.
