Here is the thing. Pets Guide In one conversation, a lady informed that she had a house for $525 per month and a $400 deposit, no pets. I informed her I was blind and had a guide dog. She promptly informed me of the following: “There will be a non-refundable deposit of $500 for that guide dog.”
I wanted to ask how long she had been in the real estate business. Landlords of any kind cannot charge a “pet deposit” for a guide dog/service animal. This is against the law. Landlords should acquaint themselves with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992 or go to Assistance Dogs International (ADI.org) or GDUI (Guide Dog Users Inc.
These two sites have lots of information about guides and laws governing them. Landlords charge deposits for everything —pets, security and children, etc. Most deposits are not returned no matter how clean or what a place is left like. Yet it makes it hard for pet owners and guide dog users to rent.
These dogs are highly trained. We have to keep them brushed, bathed, clean their teeth, pick up after them, so they usually do not cause any problems. They are also taught not to bark.
Pets Guide I was raised in Muskogee and am returning home after 18 years away.I would like to begin my transition on a good note. Landlords need to wake up. Perhaps, you should start charging deposits for the drunks and druggies you rent to. I would hate to begin my new life in Muskogee in court for discrimination or civil rights violations.
