Based on the info posted above by MrDan, you are not required to take the emotional support dog or therapy dog in "no pet" housing. I would assume you are likewise not required to waive the pet fee or pet deposit or pet rent for such an animal. Only the service animal qualifies under the ADA. Check your FL state rules to see if the other types (emotional/therapy) are protected.

There is a difference between an emotional support animal and a therapy animal. An emotional support animal has protection under the FHA. A therapy animal does not has any protection from the FHA. FHA regulates what happens in the renatal, The ADA regulates what happens outside the rental, the public or common areas.
