I am so tired of people sneaking in pets as "service" animals that do not perform any type of service. Then there are the "companion" animals. Every dog or cat is a "companion" animal that the owners benefit from in some way. And, what about the letter from the doctor? Is it a friend or relative? Is there anybody who can not print one out and pass it off as authentic? What landlords need to start doing is to get a medical release to obtain information directly from the doctor. And, the the "companion" animal needs to fall in the scope of his practice or report him to whatever. The doctor can not be a chiropractor or a mail order psychologist. Tell the tenant the animal is not allowed until you have it verified.

There was no false pretense because she didn't neglect to dislose anything by law she was reuired too.

If you will actually read my post I did not say anything about false pretenses. I am just sick of tenants claiming to be so emotionally fragile that they need a snapping lap dog to make it through the day.

I think it was false pretenses because of a deliberate omission. She may have followed the letter of the law about what she disclosed, but she pulled a sneaky and underhanded thing to get what she wanted.
