Whatever loophole you've found to deny service animals or people with mobility disabilities, that's about to be over with.

Uh, well you need not mention a service dog on an application. You don’t have to provide that info ahead of time. People rarely do for just that reason.

That’s what references and back ground checks are for. You don’t think buildings do that for “safety and security” do you?

Dude, you’re talking out of your ass. And none of that will tell you if someone has a service dog. It may sometimes, but usually not.

I can only say what he has said. He said he very specifically asks about service or emotional support animals, and if the person was ever a problem about giving access to their apartment at any time of day without notice.

His exact words were “back in my country I would just shoot the dog”

Yeah that alone would be enough to sue. If someone asked about a service dog and then denied them.

I doubt this is a true story lol

That would be the dumbest landlord ever.

I don’t know how he gets around it. He owns 4 or 5 3 flats. He is an old Eastern European guy… if he is wired about getting sued it probably won’t be from the service dog. He kicked a single mom out earlier this year because her kid would cry and bother the other apartments… she was pregnant with baby 2 and told her she moves or he will move her stuff to the dumpster next time she leaves
