Verification of assistance animal documentation safeguards the rights of individuals with disabilities who require accommodations for their assistance animals. By confirming that the documentation is issued by a licensed health professional, is based on a disability-related need, and is in accordance with state and federal guidelines, this process guarantees access to reasonable accommodations. Rest assured, we never inquire about the nature of disabilities.
Verification of assistance animal documentation is crucial to protect the legal rights of both residents and housing providers. For residents, it ensures compliance with Fair Housing laws, guaranteeing their right to reasonable accommodation. It also safeguards housing providers from legal disputes and discrimination claims, promoting a compliant and inclusive housing environment.

A reasonable accommodation request is a formal petition made by individuals with disabilities to make modifications or exceptions to rules, policies, practices, or services to access housing or other opportunities. This right is protected under the Fair Housing Act and enforced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
In the context of assistance animals, you may request a reasonable accommodation from your housing provider, to live with your assistance animal, even if the property has a "no pets" policy. This request is supported by documentation from a licensed healthcare provider confirming the disability-related need.
