The majority of Fair Housing complaints come from Persons with Disabilities, and 60% of those complaints are related to service and emotional support animals.

Are you and your staff prepared to handle this challenging issue on site? Find out what HUD says about how to evaluate and approve or deny an applicant’s or resident’s reasonable accommodation request for an assistance animal, about on-line verifications and websites that sell ESA certifications.

Learn the steps HUD recommends for processing requests for service versus emotional support animals, requests for animals “commonly kept in households” versus “unique animals” and requests for multiple animals. Learn how to apply the HUD recommendations and handle challenging issues with animals on site.
