As a therapy dog owner, you may wonder if your landlord has the right to evict you for having a therapy dog in your rental property. The answer to this question is not always cut and dry, as it depends on various factors such as your location, your lease agreement, and the specific laws in your area.<\/p>\n

**The short answer is that in most cases, a landlord cannot evict you for having a therapy dog. Therapy dogs are not considered pets, but rather animals that provide emotional support and assistance to individuals with disabilities. Under the Fair Housing Act, landlords are required to make reasonable accommodations for tenants with disabilities, including allowing them to have therapy animals.**<\/p>\n

However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, if your landlord has a strict no-pet policy in place, they may be able to evict you for having a therapy dog. It’s essential to familiarize yourself with your lease agreement and local laws to understand your rights as a therapy dog owner.<\/p>\n
