Fair Housing Act Covers Service Pets
- Share via
Just a small addition to Robert J. Bruss’ reply to the question headlined “No-Pets Policy Doesn’t Cover Seeing-Eye Dogs” in the Aug. 29 Real Estate Q&A;:
Any type of residential rental is covered under the Fair Housing Act as amended, and the act offers the same protection for service animals as it does for seeing-eye dogs.
I just won a settlement in a suit about a hearing dog, and all landlords should be aware of the Fair Housing Act’s requirements.
