    Get a emotional support animal bagde from Amazon. They cannot charge you for the pet AND you can sue them if they give you shit. Fight landlord bullshit.

      I worked in building management for a few years, obviously rules are going to be different depending on the region but I can say that I was quite surprised to find out that no in fact, if the building is not pet friendly, a person does not have the automatic right to bring in a support pet. Because a lot of people choose NON pet friendly buildings due to allergies, etc. nobody has the right to override the rights of those other tenants. If it’s essential, they’ll be asked to move. At best the medical need would grant them the right to break their lease early. If it comes down to it, it will be argued why that person did not find a pet friendly building to begin with.

      That is not how that works at all. For starters only dogs and miniature horses are even recognized as valid protected service animals. And there is no valid badge or certification for that.

      While emotional support animals can have a protected class for housing in some circumstances it would at a minimum require a recognized medical disability and documentation from a medical professional confirming your need for that animal medically.

      Buying some worthless patch off Amazon is going to hold absolutely no weight whatsoever legally. Even after all of that you would most likely just be asked to move there is a reason that certain places are not pet friendly and it’s to give people with allergies and other issues with pets a space
