[nagdu] Fair Housing

[William Burley]

Jeff,

All you have to do is show proof that the dog has been trained to be a
service animal.  I'm not sure what medical documentation they want.  If I
were you, I'd ask them what the medical documentation is and what regulation
they are basing their request upon.  While I know you are doing this under
Fair Housing, it does not negate ADA where the definition of a service
animal is found.  If you are filing a complaint you can make HUD aware that
they are making unreasonable requests because you do not need a prescription
for a service animal.  

I know you know all this I'm just trying to put some of the wording that you
could use in your correspondence with your complex....which I would suggest
you do as it seems they may be trying to preclude you from having the
service animal.  Hope that helps.
