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.
