HUD Just Rewrote the ESA Playbook. Here's What to Do Next.

HUD changed the ESA rules. Your team is already asking what that means.

‍

On May 22, HUD rescinded the federal guidance that property managers have relied on for ESA accommodation requests. The rules that shaped how you evaluate documentation, what you can ask for, and how you respond to residents is now different.

‍

What didn't change: the Fair Housing Act, your state laws, and your residents' ability to file a complaint. The compliance burden is still there. It's just less clear-cut than it was last month.

‍

On June 25, OurPetPolicy co-founder Logan Miller is hosting a free, one-hour working session covering what the guidance change actually means for your properties  and what a defensible policy looks like starting next week.

‍

The session includes live Q&A. If you have specific scenarios you've been sitting on: multi-state portfolios, existing approvals, what to tell your leasing team, bring them.

‍

Registration is free and the replay goes out to everyone who signs up.
