2017 Updated Emotional Support Animals Toolkit

Fair Housing: Emotional Support Animals

We are happy to report that the National Apartment Association has completed a new toolkit:

Emotional Support Animals: A Practical Guide to Reasonable Accommodation Requests

The toolkit contains the basics of fair housing law as it relates to assistance animals, frequently asked questions, sample forms and scripts for front-line staff to utilize in various scenarios involving reasonable accommodation requests. There is no substitute for your own legal counsel when it comes to complying with fair housing laws; however, this material is useful in educating staff who receive these requests. To view the toolkit, simply click on the title above.
