Question

Can landlords refuse to rent you a house because you have a service dog?

Lucian

Community Answer

No, they legally cannot refuse you housing due to a service dog, since that would be discrimination against the disability of the owner.

Question

Are special vests and collars necesary?

Elizabeth Melissa

Community Answer

No, it is not necessary, but it does let others know the dog is working and cannot be pet. If someone doesn't pay attention to the vest and collar, reinforce them by explaining, and they continuously ignore, then leave the store or place and go back at a different time.

Question

Can a puppy be considered an emotional or psychiatric support dog? I do plan on training him.

Christopher

Top Answerer

Puppies can be considered emotional or psychiatric support dogs, as long as they've been house-trained and have had all the proper training to become a service dog.

No, you can have multiple service dogs, I have heard of several people training a second service dog as a backup.

Question

If I am living in a rented house where animals are not allowed, then obtaining a service dog for a psychiatric disability. Can they legally evict me for that?

Charlsy Myers

Community Answer

No, it is considered medical equipment. They can't do anything, it would be like trying to evict you for suddenly needing a wheelchair in a legal sense, per the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
