Had someone tour a house today. Liked it and wants to fill out an app. First though, have a question. We have a husky, is that ok? I say I would have to check with my insurance company to see. I can't let a dog be there that they will cancel the policy on me for. They just text back and said "If your insurance carrier doesn't allow this breed, I am working on getting him registered as an ESA. Would this change anything?"
I can't with these folks!
1. This is obviously a scam, they pretty much are admitting it without saying it.
2. "Registering" the dog as an ESA is not how this works
3. Makes me nervous to even talk to them anymore. They seem like they will work around anything I tell them.
This ESA bull excrement has reached the point of full insanity. There's posts and videos all over the social media sites teaching these folks that "your landlord can not legally tell you no anymore, here's how!" There's facebook groups dedicated to teaching these folks how to scam the system.
ESA's can be a legit thing. I know a few folks that this was true for. Funny thing is, these folks did nothing for their pets. Did not put on the "registration" list, did not get a doctor's letter, nothing. They just had their dog around them and took care of it. One even told me they couldn't understand how I did it with all the ESA scams going on.
Ok, sorry. Carry on with your day now. Have a good weekend!

I too am sick of the ESA games. Tried renting one all of May. Most everyone I talked to had an ESA. I got sick of it and listed the house for sale. One of the people that claimed ESA ended up buying it for over asking. I will now clear more per month with the cash sitting in a 3 year cd at 5 percent apy. As they come vacant I will sell. --66.169.xxx.xxx |

I like the idea of the renter's insurance including the animal.
Unfortunately most of my tenants do not have renter's insurance. As a matter of fact one that did have it lost her job and that was the first thing they dropped.
I always had it back when I rented but times seem to have changed. --107.147.xx.xx |

My guess is that, under federal law, it already is not allowed.
I doubt you can require additional insurance for someone with a Service Animal. Same applies to ESAs when it comes to housing.
Good luck with that.

Zero- times have changed but you can still see patterns in people at a young age who will and will not be homeowners, you had renters insurance,my long term tenants never have it, in my area red cross shows up and puts them in a hotel and gives them a gift card with $300 on it and they do a go fund me and that is considered good by low income type people --74.77.xx.xx |

What you send back it that you welcome emotional support animals. That according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), an emotional support animal is any animal that provides emotional support alleviating one or more symptoms or effects of a person’s disability.
To qualify as an emotional support animal and be allowed into my unit, your dog will need the proper documentation from the mental health professional that is treating your mental or emotional disability. --76.178.xxx.xxx |

John MI - If you require ALL tenants to have renters insurance and ALL tenant’s animals to be notated on the renter’s insurance, then shouldn’t that be ok? --73.159.xxx.xx |
ESA Scam (by John... [MI]) Posted on: Jul 6, 2024 3:55 PM Message:
Oregon Woodsmoke: That is a good way to handle such things, yes.
Still Learning: Yes, I believe that is correct. That if you require ALL tenants to have renters insurance with all animals specifically named on those insurances, then my understanding is that that is acceptable.
The problem is if you don't allow pets. If you don't allow them at all, then when you say that "all animals" have to have it, you clearly just mean all Service or ES Animals. And that can lead to at least an argument that you are discriminating against just those animals.
But, yes, if you are a pets-allowed place and have requirements for ALL renters and ALL animals, then I think you are ok with that.
