Q: Salem or 12 yr daughter depression doc companion pet landlord now said get ríe of it 24 hrs
My daughter has depression cuts her arms landlord knows about this but refuses to let us keep her pet with doc notes and mental Heath doc can landlord force us to get rid of the pet or evict us 24 hr
A:
It all depends upon what grounds the landlord is asserting to terminate your tenancy. They cannot terminate it because you have an emotional support animal ("ESA") that has been properly "prescribed". They can, however, require you to remove any specific, particular emotional support animal if they otherwise have provable grounds, such as the pet is destructive of property, bites others, disturbs/makes noise, etc. That would not preclude your being able to replace such an offending ESA with a different one.
Questions? Review it all with a local landlord-tenant attorney.
Good luck.
