Service and Emotional Support Animals

[Mark Mueller]

I just received my first ESA information from a tenant.  She was already in a home.

She sent information and Dr. letter, etc. and she is not a poor tenant and no reason for me to be too concerned.

However, this law totally burns my __________.

I have other tenants with pets and I charge a security deposit and extra rent.  But I can't for an ESA tenant?

I'm not "charging extra", I'm only charging what anyone else with a pet would pay.  But because it's in addition to the rent, it's disallowed.

I don't have to reduce my rent if the actual TENANT is disabled, but I essentially have to reduce my rent if the tenant has a dog.

Reverse discrimination always irritates me.
