Question though?

Does the DOJ and the ADA/supercede the FHA or works coincide with them


The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  Hm...  For the purposes of the Fair Housing Act, which would apply in this
  case, the landlord was out of bounds.  Emotional support animals *are*
  covered under the FHA and often also under state housing laws.

  So in my opinion, it is nice to finally see the law enforced, with penalties
  attached to make other such intransigent property companies think again
  before they decide to try their hand at lawbreaking.  Here in Oregon, even
  our super weak land use and landlord/tenant laws are not enforced, and it's
  a nightmare!  People have to put up with more crap just have a place to
  live, and when it comes to living in a property that is maintained according
  to code...  Well, you just have to trust in luck there.  Also, we have been
  number 1 in homelessness for quite some time now, having given ourselves a
  pretty good head start even before the housing crash.

  So...  Having the laws that protect us and our guides as well as other
  groups who use service dogs -- and, in housing, emotional support or comfort
  animals -- enforced with real money penalties is a refreshing thing to me!

  My opinion:
  This ruling certainly doesn't help our position.
