[nagdu] no result

I really am sorry to hear that you're going through this.

Since you have the disability rights organization involved, this should be a
really, really easy situation to rectify once they see the law regarding
service animals.  You can also send a letter to HUD as another means to have
someone looking at it.  If your complex doesn't receive federal funding, HUD
will automatically send your complaint to the state agency that handles
housing complaints for the disabled.  I'm not sure what it is in Colorado.
It's the Texas Workforce Commission here.

I would also suggest wtalking with the agency folks about writing a letter
of reasonable accommodation discussing this and any other issues that you
feel are directly related to disability.  The complex has seven days to
reply to that request...by having a discussion as to what accommodations are
needed.

Sorry about the long e-mail.

Hi bibi
this is horrible and I feel so bad for you. I'm glad you are able to 
connect with the people you need to help right this wrong.  I just can't 
believe someone isn't willing to stand up with you (a news reporter or 
politician etc.).

I hope the whole thing is resolved soon for you.
Brenda
