Question: What’s one situation where a landlord can refuse to accommodate an assistance animal?

Answer: The housing provider is allowed to refuse to accommodate the request for an Assistance Animal if it would cause an undue financial burden on the landlord or hotel operator. For example, accommodation would require extensive costs that would be considered objectively unreasonably high, such as physical alterations or construction.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

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.
