<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>A few weeks ago my fiancee Rick and I have started
to look around at other partments to rent because eventually we want to move out
of the apartment were living in now.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>In addition to having a guide dog, I also have a
cat and a Chihuahua. So where ever I move to next they will have to accept
pets.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Rick and I went to a place called WoodGate Apartments. They
rent out 2 bedroom apartments and they do accept cats and small dogs. Rick and I
talked to the manager of WoodGate Apartments. I asked about their
pet policy and they do welcome cats and small dogs and this was a
factor for us when looking for another apartment.But in their pet
policy you can have one cat and one dog. Well as we all know the
manager already told me that they can't charge me for my guide dog Gipp.
But the management also said that Gipp will be counted </FONT><FONT
size=2> as a dog in the household. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Again their pet policy welcomes cats and small dogsbut
in their pet policy you can only have one cat and one dog. you can't have 2 dogs
and a cat or 2 cats and a dog it's just one cat and one dog.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Since Gipp is my service dog the management
knows that they can't charge me for having him. But they did say that they would
consider him as a dog in the house hold. Can the management of
WoodGate have the legal right to do this, after all Gipps not a
pet but a service dog?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The way I see it is that they can't legally do this I
should be able to have my service dog live with me for nothing since
legally that's the law and that they can't look at my service dog as a dog
in the household and that in the pet policy that I can have my one cat and
my small dog which is my Chihuahua living with me without braking anypet policy
rules.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So I need some thoughts on this are the management in
the right or wrong hear? TJ Ccan you offer me some legal advice on this.
Any thoughts and suggestions and help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
