ESA’s are not protected under the ADA. Service animals must perform a duty AND be a dog. Or a mini horse

she owns her house so no landlord tenant act involved. Housing association are not landlords. This is a concept your missing. The bottom line is a contract was made between owner and HOA which the AdA ESA animal are not binding in the context of the housing law’s. Two different aspects landowner compared to tenant.. Hopefully this clarify the difference.

are they actual ESA’s or are you just claiming they are? And by that I mean do you have a medical note from a dr/psychiatrist/psychologist stating your diagnosis and that the specific animals are part of your treatment plan?

Slightly more context – the condo was my grandmother’s who just passed, my mother inherited it. It is fully owned. Myself and my sister would be moving in full time, and we each have an ESA cat we acquired after our father ended his own life. My mother is aware of and okay with us bringing the cats.
Just want to find out what the worst-case scenario would be, so I can hopefully avoid it.

it’s not a landlord situation. My mother owns the condo outright

do have legal protection but you cant just move them in and then when they are discovered, tell the landlord you have them. There are better ways to go about it. Like informing them that you have them in the first place. They can’t deny you housing because of them, but not telling them can cause a whole bunch of issues

it’s an HOA not a landlord situation. HOA bylaws have to be filed with the state and are in essence an extension. Same rules don’t apply.

NAL but you cant just put animals in your house and when they are discovered scream “esa”. Go talk to the landlord, tell them you have 2 esa animals. That way you wont have to worry about repercussions when the animals are discovered

Read the Condo HOA agreement which your Mom received. If unavailable, ask the Association what potential penalties they can enforce.
