What do you call "proper documentation"?
This ESA thing has gotten out of hand.
Totally agree with the clarification of legitimate casesUnfortunately the illegitimate requests (to save money on pet deposits or airplane fees, for example) have overshadowed the legitimate ones and landlords and business owners are having to deal with it without getting sued for questioning the real ones who do need it. Sometimes that means the deposit or cost goes up for everyone (which is not illegal).
I strongly believe in pet therapy and am usually against new regulations, but wish there were some regulations/guidelines to help business owners out in knowing who truly needs the pet and who is scamming the system.
