Standardized Policy regarding Service and Support Animals

While we have done our best to be extremely clear in this policy, it is not uncommon for there to be misunderstanding or questions. If you have any concerns, we request that you first come back to this document at a later time and read it again carefully. If you still have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
 
Service and Support Animals is a very complex matter and the laws and policies regarding it span hundreds of pages. The following is simply a tool that covers most situations regarding leasing. There is a lot of mis-information on the internet regarding this topic, so we defer to what the federal government says regarding this topic on which our policy is based, from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s website, and specifically the document titled “Assessing a Person’s Request to Have an Animal as a Reasonable Accommodation Under the Fair Housing Act” https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/PA/documents/HUDAsstAnimalNC1-28-2020.pdf
