[NAGDU] Retired Dogs & Rent

[Sherry Gomes]

A few years ago, before I bought my condo, I was living in a pet-friendly
apartment complex, but of course with monthly pent rent charges. I wasn't
charged at all, of course, for my working dog. When my retired dog came home
to me, I told the manager and asked if I needed to pay a pet deposit and
doggy rent. She talked to the owners and they decided they wouldn't charge
me for the retired dog. I was prepared to pay the monthly fee if they had,
but I was glad they didn't. I think it would be an individual apartment
management's decision, but technically, once retired the dog isn't a service
animal of any kind, so a person should be prepared to pay pet fees in rental
situations.

That is a really good question.
I would assume that the retired dog is charged as a pet fee.  I know in 
Colorado we looked at may be having some kind of law for retired guides to 
have some access rights.  But we only researched it.

Hey folks,
So a question was asked on a group i follow and wondered what you guys 
knew.

So, if you're renting either a house or apartment with your current guide. 
I'm going to assume you're not paying a pet fee.

Folks that have done this before, after you retire your guide; do you have 
to pay a pet fee if you keep your guide, do you have to then pay a pet 
fee?

Just curious to know what you've experienced.

Thanks,
Nancy
