You call and then they give you a service number and then you call the contractor for an appt2) There seems to be a lot of churn on contractors, so you may not get the same one twice.3) For repairs, they're OK, but will only authorize contractor-grade (ie cheap) parts4) For replacement, usually they tell the contractor unless its a life-safety issue, keep on repairing it.

"As a best practice, documentation contemplated in certain circumstances by the Assistance Animals Guidance is recommended to include the following general information: The patient’s name, Whether the health care professional has a professional relationship with that patient/client involving the provision of health care or disability-related services, and The type of animal(s) for which the reasonable accommodation is sought. . . .Also, the documentation should include whether the patient needs the animal(s) (because it does work, provides assistance, or performs at least one task that benefits the patient because of his or her disability, or because it provides therapeutic emotional support to alleviate a symptom or effect of the disability of the patient/client, and not merely as a pet)."

@Robert Jordan  Unfortunately those rules are there for a good reason and help keep those STR markets 'healthy' by making sure residential properties don't have too many people for safety and noise complaints.

I will remain patient.
