Fair Housing
An Oklahoma property manager has a policy of charging a $500 pet deposit for dogs and cats. A tenant with a disability requests that the pet deposit be waived for their emotional support animal (ESA). The property manager must:
ACharge the pet deposit regardless because ESAs are not service animals
BWaive the pet deposit for the ESA as a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act, though they may still charge for actual damages caused by the animal✓ Correct
CRefuse ESAs in all situations
DRequest a letter from the tenant's psychiatrist before any decision
Explanation
Under the Fair Housing Act, emotional support animals are not pets — they are assistance animals that landlords must accommodate. This means waiving pet fees and deposits (though not damage charges) as a reasonable accommodation for a disabled tenant's ESA.
