Explanation

Under HUD guidance, when a person's disability is not obvious and the need for the service/assistance animal is not apparent, a housing provider may ask: (1) whether the person has a disability requiring accommodation, and (2) what disability-related assistance the animal provides. The landlord cannot require medical documentation for clearly visible disabilities.
