Following is an example of reasonable rules that associations may adopt regarding service animals. Associations can adopt rules requiring service animals:
- be specifically trained to perform tasks to mitigate the effects of its
owner's disability,
- be clean and free of foul odor whenever in the common areas,
- not urinate or defecate in inappropriate locations,
- not create a nuisance by unnecessary barking or whining,
- not show aggression toward people or other animals,
- obey the commands of its owner,
- work calmly and quietly on a harness, leash or other tether,
- be able to lie quietly beside its owner without blocking aisles, and doorways,
- stay within 24" of its owner at all times unless the nature of a trained task requires it to be working at a greater distance.
