I’m looking into getting a therapy animal, a dog. This dog will be trained by a licensed companion animal training breeder near me. When I spoke to my landlord they said no pets including therapy animals.
Is this legal at all?

I’m in the United States.

    I’m just looking at a service dog that my insurance can help with paying for it’s training and it’s main purpose would be to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, intrusive thoughts, delusions, and any suicidal/harmful behaviors of mine that I don’t always notice “in the moment”

      It seems that a dog which is trained to perform the “specific task” of intervening to halt harmful behaviors would (should) qualify as a service animal.

      I understand. Maybe see if your insurance can help connect you to resources that can help you navigate this situation. You can’t be the only person who’s landlord said no.
