If your property uses poo prints or a similar program to hold owners accountable for pet waste. If a resident has an ESA or support animal can you still require them to enroll and pay enrollment fee? Or does the property eat that cost?

Guest Insider Absolutely. They are not exempt from damages or picking up after the animal.

Brenda Sherrill You can require them to join, but the property will eat the cost.

Guest Insider Yes even with an ESA they still have to follow to all rules as all other pet owners.

Guest Insider You cannot charge enrollment fees!

Guest Insider I read it wrong excuse me!!!! But if you notice I said they still have to follow by all rules so they can be charged for not picking up after the pet. Trust me I’m very well aware of the rules.

Victoria Cowart Hi everyone. This is such a great post and dialogue! I love chiming in on this furry fair housing topic and offer 50-70 sessions on the topic each year.
From my non-lawyer perspective:
“…can you still require them to enroll” I’d say a BIG Yes to enrollment.
“…and pay enrollment fee?” I’d say a BIG no to the fee.
That said, I’d be a BIG yes to the fines for waste left behind, tested and pawsitively ???? identified.

Guest Insider You can force ESA owners to pay for damages or not picking up. You just can’t make them pay a pet deposit or monthly fees.

Guest Insider In my experience we eat the cost but we do require them to enroll but charge them a fee if waste is found.

Guest Insider I would contact your legal team, but if it were my decision, I would waive it unless you find something on them. At which point, I would charge the penalty for not picking up the waste and for the use of the services.
