    Can A Landlord Require Documentation For A Service Dog

    There are many reasons why a person may be in need of a service dog. A landlord can understand this and want to make sure that their tenant is not abusing the system. However, there are some laws that protect people with disabilities from discrimination by landlords so it’s important to know if you have any limitations on what you can ask for.

    Can a landlord require documentation for a service dog?

    If your state has specific legislation governing service dogs and landlords, the landlord may be able to legally request documentation for a service dog. However, if your state does not have any such law or regulation in place, then it’s still possible for a landlord to require documentation for a service dog (though this is less likely).

    If you’re unsure about whether or not it is legal for your landlord to ask for proof of your disability or what kind of proof they can accept from you–and whether or not they need to provide an accommodation–then contact an attorney who specializes in housing discrimination law before making any decisions about how best to proceed.

    It is important to first consider whether your state has laws limiting the rights of landlords to ask for documentation.

    If your state does not have specific legislation governing the issue, then the landlord may still be able to legally request documentation for a service dog.

    In order to determine whether or not it’s legal for your landlord to ask for documentation of your disability, you should first check whether or not your state has laws limiting the rights of landlords to ask for documentation. If they do not, then there are several steps that can be taken before providing any information about yourself or your dog.

    If your state does not have specific legislation governing the issue, then the landlord may still be able to legally request documentation for a service dog.

    If your state does not have specific legislation governing the issue, then the landlord may still be able to legally request documentation for a service dog. If this is the case and you are a tenant, you can provide documentation to the landlord.

    If your state does have specific legislation governing the issue of whether or not landlords can ask for documentation for service dogs (or other assistance animals), then it is important that you know what that law says before providing any information about your animal’s status as an assistance animal or otherwise interacting with your landlord regarding their requests/demands/refusals etcetera

    If you are sure that there are no legal restrictions on requesting documentation from your tenant, then you can still make one last attempt at obtaining the real story of why they need the dog.

    If you are sure that there are no legal restrictions on requesting documentation from your tenant, then you can still make one last attempt at obtaining the real story of why they need the dog.

    • Ask if they would be willing to provide an additional letter from a doctor or therapist stating that he/she has PTSD and needs a service animal for emotional support.
    • Ask if there is someone else in their family who could verify this information and sign an affidavit stating such (the person does not have to be a medical professional).

    If your tenant refuses these requests, then it may be time for them to find new housing or move out on their own accord as soon as possible so that both parties can avoid any unnecessary conflict over this matter.

    A landlord may be able to require documentation for a service dog if your state allows it, or if it doesn’t, then you may want to try to figure out whether or not they really need it.

    If you are not sure whether or not your landlord can legally require documentation for a service dog, then it may be best to ask them directly. You can also look up the laws in your state and see what they say about this issue.

    If the answer is yes (or even if it isn’t), then you may want to try to figure out whether or not they really need it. Most likely, if they do have a valid reason for asking for documentation then it will be something like “proof of disability” or “proof of training.”

    Hopefully, this article has helped you to understand the laws surrounding service dogs and landlords. If your state does not have specific legislation governing the issue, then the landlord may still be able to legally request documentation for a service dog. If there are no legal restrictions on requesting documentation from your tenant and they don’t provide one after repeated requests then it may be time to ask yourself why they need one in the first place!
