Now I'm running into the therapy animal question...i have a no pet policy but they're asking to negotiate a pet deposit for the therapy animal.

I talk to the agent, ask about themselves, how they came upon the client, ask about their client & so on but I do not talk about the offer, primarily because I have not formally written it out precisely because I am looking for clues.I have done this for years & the vast majority of the time (85-90%) of the time, my clients get a great deal AND the other side doesn’t feel manipulated or cheated by a hustler.I learned much of these techniques from taking a deep dive & studying Neurolinguistics along with psychology therapy techniques to a point where I would have a Masters if I had gone to college - I think I hold the record for dropping out of college - 7 times & completing 2 semesters. 

I have an animal policy, an animal application, an animal agreement, etc.ESA, comfort, and therapy animals are not pets!

Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. 

But as one of our neighbors said "8 sounds like a party"....so we took the 2 upstairs bedrooms and made them into an Office and 'Yoga Room'.

A pet doesn't need to be a trained service animal, many are therapy/companion animals.

Look around for similar retailers in the area, like yoga and spinning studios, running stores, and lifestyle clothing stores.

I then bought the building that I have my therapy practice in in 2014.  

The most recent tenants (a behavioral therapy group) moved out last week for a larger location.

If it might affect your sanity, simply use some of your savings for therapy.
