An end run around the pet policy?

[Lana G.]

I was skimming an area forum and saw a young lady had posted, looking for section 8 housing in Bensalem that allowed pets....

In response to her post, someone stated that by having her pet registered as "emotional support" that they are equivalent to a service animal and exempt from the no-pet policy. I can only imagine that there is specific criteria that both the tenant and pet would need to follow - not just "hey, i feel sad when my dog isn't around..."

@Lana G. this is a huge problem, and those of us in NARPM are fighting back! We will be meeting with HUD in may and talking with our constituents in the senate to let them know what is going on, and how can they help us,

I plead to each of you to do The same, write, call or email your congressmen and women and let them know. If we all give examples of what is happening out there, I'm hopeful we can help get change in order
