[NAGDU] VRBO rentals

I've run into this situation as well. As far as I can determine, federal law
doesn't clearly protect you in this situation, but state law might. I'd
recommend looking up the Florida service dog laws, and if it looks like
you'd be covered, send them to the owner. This is definitely a stressful
situation, especially when it can impact your whole family's vacation
choices. Good luck!

Hi gang,

 

I have a question about renting a VRBO house.  My family has rented one in
Florida next Feb for a week.  When I made the reservation the lady told me I
could not bring my guide dog Sully.  I explained to her that he was an
actual certified guide dog and not one of these crazy imposter ESA dogs.  I
even told her I would provide her a copy of his vet records and his
certification documentation.  Her response back to me was "someone else who
rents from her is allergic to dogs so I would not be able to bring Sully."
I am not sure of my rights regarding this?  Any thoughts or advice would be
appreciated!  

 

Very frustrated, Janell and Sully
