Assistance Animals….some clarification from recent large settlement.
Reread that first sentence….how does this impact your rental processes?
Service animals and assistance animals are, indeed, valuable and necessary for many individuals dealing with visible physical health issues as well as not-readily visible physical and/or mental health issues. The proper protocols for housing providers to interact and accommodate tenants with these animals has hopefully just gotten a bit clearer with this recent lawsuit settlement between HUD and a California housing provider.
As always, especially with complicated legal issues such as this, please consult a qualified attorney on how your rental operation should embrace these new developments.
Best wishes as you continue to pursue your Financial Freedom with Rental Properties!
