The answer is yes.
The housing provider can evict/eject the Assistance Animal if it causes an unreasonable nuisance or public safety hazard (for example, a barking habit, flea infestation, evidence of an actual disease, aggressive behavior, feces or urine contamination due to the owner/handler neglecting to clean up, etc.) Please note that these must be actual rather than merely potential issues.
He or she can refuse to accommodate the request for an Assistance Animal if it would cause an undue financial burden (for example, if the his/her insurance carrier would cancel the insurance policy if a certain breed of dog, such as a pit bull or chow breed, were kept on the premises, or if the accommodation would require extensive costs that would be considered objectively unreasonably high, such as physical alterations or construction).
Are you an owner of an assistance animal?
The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.
Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
