QUESTION
my hoa wants me to remove my emotional support dog from my condo
Asked on Mar 24th, 2021 on Animal Law - Florida
More details to this question:
i gave the hoa information from my daughters therapist. I moved just recently to my condo because I lost my job in new jersey because of covid-19. My daughter is still in NJ because she is attending a Masters program at Rutgers. She communicates daily with the dog via zoom or facetime. After this semester she as 1 year left. I have had Kody for over 7 years and I am just as emotionally attached to him. What are my options?

Sorry - its NOT your ESA, its your daughters dog. If she wants it up in NJ then she is free to do so and can raise ESA issues as she chooses. Bear in mind, that what you describe is a pet not an ESA as an ESA on ZOOM is not an ESA and if its an undesireable rental breed like a pitbull, its twice as obvious its a sham. You need to be aware that Florida just passed a new law criminalizing false claims of ESA/SA status so tread lightly. Bottom line is you need to send the dog back to her, kennel it, or risk being fined and losing a lot of money or your home to foreclosure.
