[nagdu] assisted living complex requesting documentation

[Sheila Leigland]

it can also be requested from apartment complexes that aren't assisted 
living. Our complex didn't request it but the great falls housing 
authority does. They are the agency that manages much of the low income 
housing.

Housing accommodation are required to make reasonable accommodation to allow residents to keep their service animals in their residents. Service animals are more broadly defined under the FHA; however, residents can be required to request an accommodation and demonstrate that the animal mitigates the effects of a disability. This can be done by the presentation of an I.D. card or by a letter from a treating health care professional, such as a physician or mental health professional. I have attached more information concerning this to this message.
