pixie_vixen117 | Is not allowing a renter to have dogs considered discrimination? |
My fiance and I own a duplex where we live in one side and we rent the other side out. We have a vacancy to fill, and posted an ad online. We have recieved many responses, including a few friends we know and trust. We have a couple who wants to move in, but they have 2 dogs. My fiance and I own a dog of our own, and we are considering getting rid of him due to not enough space and proximity to the road even. We do not want to allow renters with pets. Normally, we would just say no, but they say they have a doctors note for both of them saying they need the dogs for therapeutic reasons. I know, legally, we cannot discriminate against people who are disabled and need a seeing eye dog and such, but does this count as a disability, if they can provide the note? Just imagining two dogs in the living area we have is tough, since the place is not exactly huge, we find 1 dog to be a problem alot. Can we legally turn them down, or is this considred a disability? The woman just had back surgery.

Any where we could find details would really be appreciated too, since we might have to back up any claims with facts. |

I do not know the state your rental is in, but here in California, I can offer this advice. First, never, never give a reason for not renting to an individual. Always accept all applications and do not give a due date for an answer. This keeps you out of many difficulties. I always tell the person that "I am accepting applications" and I never give a reason for not accepting a tenant. As for the people with dogs, don't get into specific reasons as to why you are not renting to them. You have the right to accept the best possible tenants for your rental. If you do decide to rent to someone with a pet, you are entitled to ask for more rent (wear and tear) and a much higher security deposit. |

If they need the dogs do to therapeutic reasons that is discrimination and very wrong..... |

You own the property to be rented. Thus, you can say no to anyone without any problems. |

if you own it...you decide who lives there, when a building is owner occupied, it doesn't fall under the same stipulations as if you are just renting out property |

I am sorry, but to the few who said this is discrimination I completely disagree(only my opinion though). Maybe throwing a party would be therapeutic for me, does that mean I can do it? I'm sure I could find someone to write me a note! Apartment buildings adverting can say "NO PETS". I'm glad it all worked out for you in the end.....people shouldn't lie. Have a good week all!! |

there is a special beauty in this because you own and live in half the house....that means you can deny tenants without facing discrimination...as far as the dog thing goes you do not have to turn your property into a kennel. you can find landlord tenant rights by going to your library and checking out a book, you can do it on line, but you have to get rights for your state. In the meantime tell them sorry, but no dogs. |

unfortunately, you could get in trouble- to me that would be considered discrimination |

Go to your browser...type in your state..then go to "landlord's rights." Most landlords require an additional amount of money on the deposit for people who own pets, if they allow them at all. And, it is not discrimination to prohibit renters from having pets if you have them yourself. You own the property. |
|
?
 |
so just rent to someone else and tell them that you had someone else in mind first and they decided they wanted it. That way, they cannot say you discriminated and you have no dogs there. Plus, I kinda think they are pulling your leg about the therapeutic dog thing... a dog needed after back surgery? Never heard that one before. |

Look into your local law. You may be allowed to collect an additional deposit to cover for pet damages/fumigation/etc as pets can damage flooring and litter the property with allergins for any future tenants. I worked at a property that would have to do extensive maintenance work to units when pet owners moved out, often these things were deductable from their security deposits.
You may also want to be blunt with them, that it may not be in *their* best interest to have a dog at this location with space restrictions/proximity to the street and so on. That's providing them with information and should not be taken as discriminatory |

I think it definetly is and i work for an attorney |

Circumstances prevail, however, since this is a private house and not public housing, you do have the right to be choosey..... However, i would make it quite clear in the lease agreements what is / is not expected from the housing of their pets.... |

i don't think that this is discriminatory at all. you should check with an attorney regarding this matter, but according to fair housing it doesn't seem discriminatory, as long as you didn't advertise "dogs/pets allowed".
i am a pet owner myself, and would never consider renting somewhere that didn't allow pets, and i'd make it a point to ask first before signing any leases,etc. although i love my pets as if they were my children, i don't think there are any "fair housing for pets" laws regarding residential dwellings.
explain to her that you'e like to accomodate them, but that you don't allow pets.
also, i believe that if you own only a certain number of rental units/dwellings (3 or less, i think), then you can be a little more pickier in renting/leasing than if you were in charge of a whole apt. complex. |

i'm glad it's resolved, but the answer to your question is yes and no. Yes if you owned property with more than 4 rental units and no for a duplex.

I think they are just having a go at you, give the place to someone else you dont have to have dogs there if you dont want its not fair on you, them or the dogs. |

Normally, no it is not discrimination. But in this case, I would check with an attorney. |

Unprofessional response here, but it seems you are discriminating against them due to their handicap condition. I don't know if "therapeutic reason" qualifies the need or not - sounds like a question for a lawyer who deals with this type.
But on the surface it seems like you are dangerously close to the line. |

i think you shoud let them stay for the safe side and if the lady lives by her self she needs company |

I don't know if it's considered discrimination but this day and age it is very hard to find any place that will accept pets of any kind and it's very sad...I understand that you find it hard to live with your one dog but if the person is willing to pay rent to you then they should be the one to worry about wether or not the place is too small and suitable enough for them.. |

Not in the least, most renter will not care for your property. I have a dog. I waited to get one until I bought my own house. |
