BThe landlord must allow the guide dog as a reasonable accommodation for a disabilityCorrect
CThe buyer must provide veterinary records before the landlord must comply
DThe landlord may charge an additional pet deposit for the guide dog

Why The landlord must allow the guide dog as a reasonable accommodation for a disability Is Correct

Answer B: The landlord must allow the guide dog as a reasonable accommodation for a disability

A guide dog (or other service animal/emotional support animal) used by a person with a disability is not a 'pet' under fair housing law. The landlord must allow the animal as a reasonable accommodation and cannot charge an additional pet deposit.
