I have owned and operated properties since 2007, and have always had a NO smoking and NO pets policy. As of late, I am getting a lot of requests for needing a "service animal" or "therapy animal". I don't know if this...

Please help me look at my situation: My PM threats me that the potential tenants will sue my insurance company and me for not taking them because they have a pitbull. Seriously, my Property Manager threated me that If...

I have a tenant who wants to get a dog. She's a good tenant (as evidenced by the fact that she raised the pet issue with me rather than just doing it), and I want to accommodate her to maintain our positive relationsh...

Hi All!
As the title states, we manage an apartment complex with a strict no pets policy and were forced to accept a resident's dog when they submitted an ESA letter. Yesterday we received notice that the ESA (a pitb...

Anyone have facts or guidance on this? In one of my rentals I have a law enforcement officer with a working dog (K-9). Originally, my broker stated I HAD to rent to this person because it is a "service animal". The te...
