Our policy for “service animals” as defined in the Americans with Disabilities
Act recognizes that vision, mobility, hearing and certain other disabilities
may need greater accommodation than those with allergic disabilities. Service
animals under the ADA
are “guide dogs, signal dogs or other animals individually trained to do work
or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability”. If one of the intended occupants of a rental
has a disability and is assisted by a service animal, please alert us in
advance as to the specifics so that accommodation can be made while minimizing
the potential harm to other guests disabled by serious allergic reactions to
animals. It is requested that such an
animal remain at all times under the direct control of the occupant with the
disability and that the service animal wear something identifying it as such at
all times. A normal pet fee and carpet
cleaning to restore a property to its original non-pet condition will be
charged for any animals, if accommodated in a house that does not normally
allow pets.
