When a deaf man from Hollywood, Florida, who trained his own service dog, was told by his apartment’s property management he had to provide invasive information about the severity of his disability, how long he had been disabled, training records for his dog, how long he had the dog, and other information specifically prohibited by state and federal law, Advocates for Service Animal Partners contacted the property management’s attorney. Though the attorney stated he would not discuss this with us, we were able to keep the conversation going and referred him to state and federal law. The attorney contacted the property management, advised them of their legal obligations, and the service animal handler is living in his apartment without harassment. |
