[blindlaw] pet fee with a guide dog

[James Weisberg]

Correct, they cannot charge for a "pet" deposit for a Guide Dog but you are
liable for any damage the service animal may cause.  I have always just
responded to the question about whether I had a pet when renting or
otherwise by stating "no."  A service animal is not a pet, unless you fly a
particular airline and only until someone challenges their policy.  :)

Subject: [blindlaw] pet fee with a guide dog

I'm thinking of renting an apartment that is charging a $350 pet  
deposit because of my guide dog.  This is in the state of Oregon.   
What are the fine points of law about this?  My inclination is to pay  
the deposit, because even if it were illegal to charge me, making a  
big deal about it wouldn't get me the apartment, but I'm just curious  
where I stand legally.
Thanks, and have a great weekend!
:)
