This includes waiving pet deposits and pet rent for assistance animals under the Fair Housing Act. According to the Act, emotional support animals are not considered pets but rather tools to help individuals with disabilities alleviate their symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>However, the issue of security deposits for emotional support animals can be a bit murkier. Some landlords may try to require a security deposit for emotional support animals, citing potential damages or liabilities. But is this legally permissible?<\/p>\n<p>The short answer is no. Landlords cannot require a security deposit specifically for emotional support animals. Doing so would be considered discrimination under the Fair Housing Act. Emotional support animals are not pets, and therefore, should not be subject to the same fees or restrictions as traditional pets.<\/p>\n<p>If a landlord tries to request a security deposit for an emotional support animal, tenants have the right to push back and seek legal recourse. Landlords must provide reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, which includes allowing emotional support animals without charging additional fees.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_about_emotional_support_animals_and_security_deposits\"><\/span>FAQs about emotional support animals and security deposits:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_a_landlord_deny_housing_to_someone_with_an_emotional_support_animal\"><\/span>1.
