So I have 2 ESA cats and 2 cats that are not ESA. My husband and I plan on moving to Oregon, WI sometime next year and were wondering if a landlord can deny our application if they have a 2 pet max limit? I've read that ESA's are not counted as pets and that they shouldn't be treated as such when going about renting, but was hoping to find some proof to back that up.

We'd be moving into a 2 bed 2 bath so there would be plenty of space for them...So I have 2 ESA cats and 2 cats that are not ESA.

We'd be moving into a 2 bed 2 bath so there would be plenty of space for them to run about. I just want to get ahead of this and have anything of legality to show as proof when I call to ask them about it this coming week. Show more
