[nagdu] Fair Housing Act

[Julie J.]

I found this from the Delta Society:
*It is the responsibility of the person with the disability to request 
any necessary reasonable accommodations necessary for tenancy.

An example of reasonable accommodation is modifying no-pet policies and 
practices to support the right of a person with a disability to have a 
service animal in a publicly or privately owned dwelling. Refusal to 
permit an exception to a no-pets rule may constitute a discriminatory 
practice when an individual with a disability is unable to use and enjoy 
a dwelling, including entertaining guests with disabilities who require 
the use of service animals.*

There is a lot more info on the page where I got the above quote:

Of course this is technical guidance and not the Fair Housing Act 
itself, but I'd consider it as reliable info.  Does anyone have reliable 
info that states you do not have to inform the landlord of a service dog?
