[NAGDU] looking for an apartment for the first time

[Jameyanne Fuller]

Hi all, again.
Another quick question: Will I need any sort of documentation to prove Mopsy
is a guide dog when I'm going to rent an apartment, or is the FHA like the
ADA in that they can't ask me to prove it? Thanks for your help.
Best,
Jameyanne

And neither have I and do not wish to suddenly have a problem while renting
with a guide dog! Even after I get one. They summed it up for you.
