the mediator sided with us, but since she is not a judge, court was set for Thursday this week. after we left, my lawyer called saying she filled an extension because she claims that my mother in law hurt her arm during the altercation and she has doctors on Thursday. the judge granted the extension until next week. she also filed an appeal for the protective order alleging she couldn't make it to court because she was in pain because of the ordeal. the hearing will be held may 2nd for the appeal. on may 5th there will be a court because of the fight that broke out in march. now, my questions are;does she have any bases to this claim?

A professional-- Doctor or Psych or even a Social Worker... other mental health/health professional should sign a letter stating that the disability is real-- look for some form of "Certification of need of Reasonable Accommodation."  

Here's some quick tips:Credit history - no collections, repos, late paysIncome - 2 1/2 times to 3 times the rent, verified by pay stubs and a call to their human resources department at their workRental History - Calls to the prior landlords and ask "Was the tenant given any three day notices during his tenancy with you and if so, what were the dates and what was the reason.For assistive animals/pets, require them to be vaccinated, spayed/neutered, get a letter from a third party who is a social worker, medical doctor or psychiatrist to explain the need for the animal by the tenant.  

Doctors hand out those letters to anyone that ask.

It's like reading a newspaper article on diabetes, and then telling your doctor he's wrong when he diagnoses you with it.

This would have to be sent from a company specific email or fax that I can reference online so the tenant isn't doctoring the form.

I have an emotional support animal, and my doctor has written a letter saying why such an animal is beneficial to me. 

One has a great credit score, one has a rich father (Doctor) who pays his rent no matter what, and two have zero credit history, and both have erratic or very recent job hires.I've already rejected one of the four due to no credit history and too short of job history, and the fact that the guy doesn't respond when I asked for follow up info. 

I would then read the document to see if the doctor included text that specified that only smoking the drug would achieve the desired result. 

For example, a doctor wouldn't refuse to treat a serial killer, so transitively it would be bad business for a landlord to refuse to rent to a serial killer.Do you agree with that statement?
