Do not confuse it with the American with Disabilities Act's definition of Service Animal, which governs public accommodations, not residential real estate which is under FHA.

Read this the other day regarding Donald Trumps recent executive order on examining the affects of regulatory barriers at the Federal, State, local levels on the availability and development of affordable housing. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-establishing-white-house-council-eliminating-regulatory-barriers-affordable-housing/The order states that the council endeavors to encourage State, local, and tribal governments to reduce regulatory barriers to the development of affordable housing.Which in turn, aims to increase the supply of affordable housing.I asked myself what effect will the have on the REI space and my first thought was that the increase in supply will cause rent and values to slow down or possibly even stagnate all together.
