Hey landlords, do you require pet deposits for service animals?
I have my first tenant. Her pet is a service animal. How do you handle pet deposits for service animals?

No extra pet fees, deposits or rent for service animals @Calvin Jordan, and be careful what questions you ask. You may ask the following:
(1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?
(2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
Become more familiar with it on the ada's website here. It's federal policy, so it covers all states: https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/s...
Check with your insurance company about the animal as well, you don't want any surprises on that front later on if something were to happen.
