Virtual Meeting Thu Feb 11: Service/Support Animal/Pet Training and Requirements

View Calendar

In this presentation we will review service animals, emotional support animals, and pets. We will compare and contrast the different roles and needs of each. And we will establish the lines housing providers cannot cross when conducting needed background checks on animals and renters with animals.

We will answer the following questions:

  • Why do we need to allow service animals and emotional support animals?
  • How can I screen a renter household and/or their animal?
  • What's the penalty for crossing the line or making a mistake?
  • How should I approach the conversation when a current or prospective renter requests to have an animal?
  • How can I deal with a bitey, barky, or jumpy animal that doesn't seem like a valid request?
  • Can I request a renter animal have vaccinations? Be leashed? Go to training?

We will review the Canine Good Citizen program and the practical realities of providing housing to renters with service dogs, emotional support animals, and pets.
