Service Animal Rules
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.
