Important emotional support animal legislation

Effective July 1: Important emotional support animal legislation 

In an effort to curtail fraud in requests for reasonable accommodations for emotional support animals in housing, the Indiana Apartment Association (IAA) successfully advocated for the passage of statewide legislation that sought to maneuver the broad federal Fair Housing Act regulations to allow emotional support animals for those with a verifiable need and shut-down requests from those who purchase documentation from a website for which there is no ongoing therapeutic relationship. Effective July 1, owners and property management teams should understand provisions contained in this new law. IAA is offering a sign that comes with important information to be included with reasonable accommodation verification forms. It is important to show potential residents that your property is aware of the new law.  See more details and an order form here.
