Fair Housing

A Kentucky apartment manager who allows service dogs for tenants with disabilities, but requires the tenant to pay an additional pet deposit, is:

AActing legally since pets cause wear and tear
BViolating fair housing law by imposing extra financial requirements for a reasonable accommodation✓ Correct
CActing legally if the deposit is returned with no deductions
DActing legally for properties with fewer than 4 units

Explanation

Service animals and emotional support animals are reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities, not pets. Landlords cannot charge pet deposits, pet fees, or additional fees for service or assistance animals — doing so violates the Fair Housing Act.
