You cannot ask why they need the animal, but you can ask for a letter from a qualified mental health care professional stating they need that specific animal. 

I'm wondering if you will get enough info to get a place up and running vs. going to AZ. for the 3 day seminar....Hi Dave, I thought about taking Gene's class but I opted to take the CEAL (Certified Excellence for Assisted Living) course instead through the Ohio Health Care Association (OHCA).

To be more frank, my monthly income is 3526.14 my monthly payment for my loan is 2k a month and the rest of my expenses goes to phone bill, food for the house, car insurance and helping pay for my grandmother health expenses which leaves me with not a lot of money to save. 

Bridgehouse and myself were completely unaware of any mental health issues she had and that's on me. 

I have been in business since my teenage years and currently run a medical /health operation. 

Unfortunately New York can be pretty hard to work with for landlords from investors I've spoken to up there, so I'm sure that you've been doing what you could to try and resolve the situation as peacefully as possible.If she has been a holdover tenant this long and the state has been preventing you from evicting her due to any number of reasons (lockdown, mental health, employment, etc.) is that something that the state could offset with some of the funds that would have/should have gone towards your rent that was not paid to you?

A property Manager does have a responsibility to deal with any health and safety issues immediately. 

BUT, would you be able to sleep at night knowing that one morning you might get that cease and desist letter with some horrible legal threat coming from the city?

Further, you can also place "reasonable" restrictions on the animals, including the requirement of a recent veterinarian report on the health and vaccine status, with annual updates; must be spayed or neutered unless contraindicated by veterinarian; must be in a carrier or on a leash (unless this prevents them performing their service or task) in common areas,especially elevators, stairways, and other areas where people would be in confined spaces; must clean up after the animal properly in common areas; offensive odors must not emanate from the residence; aggressive or nuisance behavior (such as extended periods of barking NOT related to the service or task they provide) can be prohibited, and potentially grounds for removing the animal and/or the resident; animal must have a chip or collar with owner's identifying/contact information; must have appropriate city/county license if required locally; and photos of the animal for your records.A thorough and clear policy will deter many of those that are less than sincere from applying when they are made aware of the policy details early in the process...like at the viewing, and mention of the policy in ads.

Seller stated he is selling because he has other properties and can’t keep up with all of them due to getting older and health reasons.
