Thanks for your input Adam. It's a GoldenDoodle, and only one animal. No potential threat, except for being too cute. 

Hi there,

I am not sure if this has already been asked and I am willing to ask a lawyer if necessary, I just wanted to try to see if anyone here could help me before taking other avenues.

I live in California and have been seeking therapy for awhile now and have been given an ESA letter from my therapist for my major anxiety and stress. I currently live in a pet friendly building (have lived here since 2017) where a majority of the tenants have a cat, and one tenant has a dog. 

The landlord is a real piece of work, he is very mean and difficult to talk to. To be honest I'm getting anxious thinking about how to approach the situation regarding informing him of an ESA soon to occupy my unit. 

My question is this. Because it's a pet friendly building, and everyone has a "pet". Do I still need to request "Reasonable Accommodation" for and with my ESA? I'm only finding answers for no-pet properties. If so how do I go about moving forward. I'm worried he will deny me or harass me or worse evict me. My lease has been month to month since after our first year.

Thank you
