To Be Filled Out By Medical Provider
I ________________________________ (name of medical provider) hereby certify that I currently provide medical services for _____________________________ (name of tenant). The patient named above is disabled pursuant to the definition listed under the Fair Housing Act (FHA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (i.e.: a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities).
Major life activities include but are not limited to: walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, thinking, communicating, learning, performing manual tasks and caring for oneself. Impairments that are considered a disability under the Fair Housing Act include such diseases and conditions as orthopedic, visual, auditory and speech; cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, autism, seizure disorder, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, HIV, mental retardation, mental and emotional illness, drug addiction and alcoholism. Note that these definitions do not cover any individual who is a drug addict and currently using an illegal drug, or an alcoholic who poses a direct threat to property or safety because of their alcohol use.
I certify that this patient has a physical or mental impairment/disability which meets the definition above. This condition substantially limits one of more major life activities, has a record of such impairment or is regarded to have such an impairment. The service animal or accommodation listed below is necessary for my patient to have the same opportunity as a non-disabled person to use and enjoy the housing community.
(page 1 of 2)
____ Mark if appropriate: I have determined that my patient needs a service animal based on healthcare considerations because that animal will perform tasks that will mitigate or alleviate the effects of the disability, provide mobility assistance or alert the individual with a disability or improve the health or well-being by mitigating the disabling condition.
___ Mark if appropriate: I verify that my patient’s request for more than one service animal is necessary. Each one will perform a different required task.
My patient needs the following service animal(s) and the explanation of what different service or tasks performed as follows: __________________________________________________
