Emotional Support Animal Fees: New Court Ruling Every Landlord Should Be Aware Of
Attorney Liz Roussel breaks down how a new court ruling could change when housing providers must waive ESA fees and when they can legally say no.
Are you an apartment owner or landlord who has received a pet fee waiver request due to a claim regarding an emotional support animal (ESA), and you felt obliged to grant it? No questions asked. Well, not so fast.
Join us with special guest Liz Roussel, an attorney from Adams & Reese. Liz successfully represented a housing provider in a landmark legal decision that said tenants seeking ESA pet fee waivers MUST PROVE they need the waiver and that their request is reasonable under the circumstances.
What you will learn:
- Why this decision matters to landlords, apartment owners, and housing providers;
- Whether and when housing providers need to provide fee waivers to people with ESAs; and
- How you should assess ESA pet fee waiver requests moving forward.
While this ruling is only applicable to the parties to the case, the landmark decision carries valuable lessons for landlords and apartment owners.
