Some animals perform tasks that require training, and others provide assistance that does not require training.Thus, the animal does not need to be a trained service animal, or even be a service animal, as long as the tenant needs the accommodation:[P]ersons who are seeking a reasonable accommodation for an emotional support animal may be required to provide documentation from a physician, psychiatrist, social worker, or other mental health professional that the animal provides support that alleviates at least one of the identified symptoms or effects of the existing disability.This does not mean that any animal providing some benefit to a tenant must always be accepted.

The reason we purchased the building to begin with is because it was struggling and poor lease management is always a symptom of that struggle. 

That should take care of them.Breathing issues, fever and throwing up aren't typical flea symptoms.

Hello AllMy tenant just contacted me to let me know his son became ill, went to the doctor and the doctor told him the symptoms we related to mold.

I feel as though I am missing something (symptoms of analysis paralysis?)

Does the animal perform work, provide a service, or alleviate symptoms for that household member?

It is an animal that works, provides assistance, or performs tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability, or provides emotional support that alleviates one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person's disability.

If you can get to the pipe fairly easily it's best to fix the problem instead of the symptoms, but if not I prefer the foaming stuff over the other.

Jerry,Lead in the paint or anywhere else in the house would not cause the acute symptoms you described.

However, depending on who you ask, of the 100,000s of types there are approximately 8 to 50 "toxic" molds that have been known to cause a variety of symptoms and, in some rare cases, even death.
