Emotional Support Animal in my house hack

Mariah Porter
Posted

I own a house in Idaho and rent my spare rooms. A potential tenant has an emotional support dog. Am I required to allow an emotional support dog if I am living in the house? Can I charge a pet deposit or pet rent? I'm trying to look for the actual laws in Idaho but can't seem to find a reputable source.

Many thanks to anyone who can share their expertise with me!

Aloha,

It sounds like you live in the house, so, if you own four or fewer rentals, and are not a RE Agent or using a RE Agent to place Tenants, the "Mrs. Murphy" exception exempts you from Fair Housing in most states.  google  I.C. § 67-5910
