If the dog is an assistance dog under the ADA (meaning he can preform at least 2 tasks that assist you with your disability, not everything applies but you should be able to find a list online of qualifying types of assistance) then yes you can regardless of the pet policy of the landlord. The dog does not have to be certified as long as you are disabled under ADA and the dog qualifies as listed above. If it is just a pet then it will depend on what your lease says. If it doesn't specify and your landlord says you can have a dog the something in writing so you are covered if they decide to change there mind in the future.

The disabled person and the dog have to meet the requirements for the Americans with Disabilities Act. Basically, the person has to meet the ADA's definition of disabled and the dog has to be trained to perform tasks that help mitigate the disability.

the landlord has the option to accept a dog or cat....however, if a renter is blind or deaf the law states that they can have a working dog, [which is trained for the person] and the landlord has to accept the dog regardless of their wishes....

you may verify with the human beings with Disabilities workplace. i'm confident like a keep proprietor, a landlord won't be able to deny your provider animal because of the fact he needs to extremely accomodate the animal no remember how plenty he hates canines, miniature ponies or monkies, all of that would desire to be provider animals. Even a farrette.

If you are legally disabled and a service dog would mitigate your disabilities, yes.
A service dog does NOT need to be certified. Let's repeat that. A service dog DOES NOT need to be certified.
However, you will need to be able to prove in court that the dog has been individually trained to perform physical tasks to mitigate your disability.

If it is a certified assistant dog, you couldn't be denied under the Disability Act.

If it is a CERTIFIED, TRAINED dog. Otherwise, it is just a pet and you can get it as long as the lease allows it.
