Question: Are Landlords Obliged to Accept Your Therapy Animal?

Answer: No. There’s a lot of misinformation when it comes to housing and assistance animals. With more request for assistance animals coming up, potential tenants and landlords should be aware of the laws. So here’s the straightforward answer: Therapy animals have no right to housing accommodations and will be treated as a normal pet. Landlords can impose restrictions it has for pets.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
